Hi,
I'm using DVD Architect 2.0 to create a home-made movie in DVD format and to burn it to a CD. However, I don't have a DVD burner myself, so DVD Architect 2.0 doesn't let me burn to CD. So I prepare the DVD with DVD Architect in order to get the video_ts folder, and I use InstantDisc to burn it to a CD.
All that works quite fine. Except one thing.
In DVD Architect 2.0 I've created a menu with a theme song that I want to loop. In order to achieve the loop effect of the theme song, I simply chose as the end action of the menu to loop. That way, the theme song loops nicely in the preview mode. However, when I prepare the DVD with DVD Architect and use InstantDisc to burn it on a CD, the loop setting disappears. So when I play my CD the music finishes once, and the menu is silent.
So does anybody have any potential idea how I could fix this problem?

How can you possibly burn a DVD format to a CD unless you are doing a Mini DVD. You may be loosing some of the project's functions by going that route.
DVD/RW are extrememely cheap this day. Get one and do it the right way to begin and you should not have any problems. Well, in this field, nothing is ever 100%. LOL!No DVD can withstand the power of DVDShrink along with AnyDVD! -
Well, basically because the final size of the project is only 35 MB. How can I do a Mini DVD?
Oh and yes, I suppose I can go and buy a DVD/RW too...

So you DID burn the "DVD Compilation " to a DVD. That will never work. As far as Mini DVD, that is a way to burn so called DVD that can be burned to a CD so that SOME dvd players will play them. By some, I mean very very few. Mostly PC DVD drives and a couple of set top players. Also, most authoring apps will not compile Mini DVD. Some of the more amateur ones will. It can only put a few minutes of video in DVD quality on a CD. Do a search on the term either here or in google and you can learn more about it.
Here is some info I found:
1) In this meaning of miniDVD, it is not a real format, but a hack instead that uses standalone DVD players' abilities to play back regular CDs.
Basically miniDVD is a regular CD that has the same structure as regular DVD-Video has. Most of the standalone DVD players can be fooled to think that the disc inserted is a regular DVD-Video disc and to play it.
Biggest problem with miniDVDs is the fact that DVD movies tend to take appx. 4GBs of space and in CD you can just fit ~700MB of data -> one movie ends up taking 6 or more CDs. Therefor most of the people don't use miniDVDs, but use some other standalone DVD player-compliant formats instead, like VCDs, SVCDs or their varieties.
2) Also, more officially, miniDVD (also called as mini DVD, Mini DVD and MiniDVD) refers to a standard DVD disc which is otherwise identical to the normal DVD, but has smaller diameter of only 8cm.No DVD can withstand the power of DVDShrink along with AnyDVD! -
Well, I went and bought a DVD-RW station and a few DVD-R discs. I burned the DVD project with DVD Architect 2.0, with the End action on the menu pages as 'loop', and when the DVD was finished, the menus still do not loop when I use PowerDVD to play it. Basically the menu music plays until the music clip is over, and then it waits for me to choose an action. In the preview mode of DVD Architect, the music loops perfectly.
Where is the problem?
