Re-authoring with DVDShrink, want movie only and to repeat

[FlittyBlitzman]

I want to re-author some of my kids' DVDs so that i can eliminate the menus and such so that the movie will begin playing when the disc is loaded as a default. I'll use DVDShrink to do this, no problem.

I also want the movie to repeat from the beginning when it is done. I assume that it won't do this by default and that there's no way to do this with DVDShrink. I'm thinking that I can make a simple change using IfoEdit after DVDShrink does its thing, and get what I want.

Any help would be appreciated.

Never seen repeat as an authoring option, but most dvds players probably have that with one remote click, no?

I don't recall seeing a repeat button on my remote, but I'll certainly check. The original menus in these DVDs have an option to repeat, that's what gave me idea. Perhaps the notion of autoplay, repeat forever is not as simple as it sounds to me.

Open up your movie IFO in question in IfoEdit. Go to VTS_PGCITI / VTS_PGC_1 / PGC Command table. Right click on your Post command #1 and select "Edit Command". Select "(Jump_VTS_TT) Jump to Title in this titleset" and input a "1" for Title Nr.

OK to set and save IFO.

If you don't have any post commands then right click on Pre Command 1 and select "Add PostCommand". You'll have a new Post Command #1 with a NOP with it. Perform command editing step I mention earlier.

DoubleShadowIce,
That made a lot of sense, and it worked like a charm too. Thank you.
