Pardon if this subject has been covered....can find in search...

I need to create a DVD that will play continuously unattended for a home tour event. The looping content will be about 12 to 15 minutes....which I will create in Vegas.

Help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks

All you need to do is select the item (double-click) and change its End Action to point to itself.

TOG62 could you please elaborate on your reply. I see Command, then Destination and the Destination Chapter. What precisly do you select in each of these? Thanks

If you double-click on the souce video in the navigation window you should see an item called End Action in the properties window. You just select the source itelf in the drop down box.

Would the source be menu 1 or the name of the video clip. If I double click on the media item menu 1 appears in the destination column of the end action properties box. Then there is the Destination item. Should this be set to start or loop point? Thanks

Unless you want to create several loops on the same disc I would choose New>Single Movie. The end point can then be set to the same clip with no complications.

OK so I set up for single movie and double clicked on the media and then in End Action I have the first box as Command which I put to link, then there is Destination which is the name of the media file and the Destination Chapter is 1:Scene/Chapter. Should that work?

Yes.
