Auto repeat DVD

[az1284xx]

I want to have a DVD automatically start and repeat until I eject it. Here's the details. I have a segment of a movie, let's say the scene in Godfather when Sonny gets blasted at the toll booth. Ok. I have used DVDShrink to edit down to just this scene. I go ahead and encode it. Now I want to burn it to a DVD, but what I want is for that scene to play in the DVD player over and over until I hit stop/eject. Any ideas.

you might try DVD Lab - set it up as a motion menu with an infinite time-out.

or just make it the first-play movie, you should be able to set it to loop.

This is very easy to do, if your authoring program has implemented the proper feature.

Just make your video a whole CHAPTER, then make the END OF CHAPTER setting (which normally defaults to the next chapter) call this chapter.

However, most authoring programs don't implement the proper features. But, you might be able to author this as a single TITLE, but insert the video twice (as two different TITLEs), then use IFOEdit to change the END PLAY programing codes from something like "Jump to Title 2" (which would normally play the second title) to "Jump to Title 1", which would give you an infinite loop.

Or if you can set your menu to time out, set it to the minimum time out and set the transparency of the movie link at 100% (or 99%). Menu background should be plain black or if you want to be fancy, make the menu background the same as the first or last frame of the movie. When you put the disk in the player, the menu will come up and play start after a second (or whatever the timout is), then at the end it will return to the menu and will be a delay equivalent to the time-out set for the menu before it starts up again. (This would work in DVD Workshop, for example).

Yes, you could also do this in DVDLab.
