Best way to loop a 12 minute .avi?

Howdy,
I have a 12 minute .avi (of a Harley-Davidson clothing fashion show of all things); The bike store owner wants to run it continuosly in their store. They're going to buy a DVD player but I don't know if it will be capable of repeating/looping the DVD. Can you think of a way other than putting it on the timeline of V4 back to back 10 times and then rendering to Mpeg2? I thought there would be a way to make it loop somehow in DVDA but I guess not.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
Randy

Burn the file once onto a DVD with no menu and set the player to repeat.

....more specifically,

you can set up your video in DVDA as the backgroud of the page....and set it to loop continuosly. Then...don't put any menu or text items on the page.

Once the DVD is inserted in the DVD player - it will bring up the first page (which would normally be the menu) and then continue to loop the video.

Make sure, in DVDA, you check the box that says "auto-calculate length" and "Looped" - or else it will only play once and then wait for input.

If you have DVDA burn it as the title track with looping checked.
It will run forever on any set.
