New DVD Loops

[Chas821]

I'm probably asking a newbie question but here goes:

I've been able to create an AVI that I'm converting to DVD using ConvertXToDVD. Everything creates fine and the DVD is completely playable. Now here's the problem: If I play just the VOB file using PowerDVD the video plays fine all the way to the end then stops. But if I play the DVD in my DVD player, it plays continuously, looping back to the beginning. Since this is a homemade intro for my theater, I want it to play just once.

What can I do with this? Do I need to edit the IFO file?

Any help will be appreciated.

TIA,

Chuck

I have had this problem using reauthor mode on DVDshrink. Running Fixvts before I burn has cleared the problem

Well, I tried this just now and it didn't work. I'm playing the DVD in file mode in PowerDVD.

Anyone else have an idea hoow to stop the looping?

All you need to do....in "Settings"...under "Authoring" in ConvertXToDVD...uncheck "Loop Playback"...& check "Sequential Playback".

OK. I made sure that Loop Playback was unchecked (it was) and I placed a check in Sequential Playback. I'm still getting looping.

Correct me if I'm wrong but when playing a DVD, the first file that's run is the VIDEO_TS.IFO
If I double click the VIDEO_TS.IFO, the video plays and then loops to the beginning. If I doubleclick on just the VOB it plays just once. What's the deal? Can't I get this to play just once?
