DVD background media has black frame at end.

Here is something that keeps hitting me in DVD architect pro 5.2.
I like to make loopable background video with a song playing, using the end action of loop. I encode my media in Vegas as mpeg2 dvd architect including audio with the mpeg. Every time i make this file my background media in architect, it annoyingly insists that there is a black frame at the end of my media when there is none. When previewing this menu, at the end the screen flashes that annoying black frame before looping. If I remove the audio only and leave the video, the black frame diaspears. I purposely made the audio SHORTER than the video, and the audio still causes a one black frame at the end of my loopable media.

This is driving me mad because it is an ovious malfunction of DVD architect, but I can't figure away around it without having a no audio menu.

Thanks so much,
Erik

Does this show up when you burn the DVD?

Are you sure it isn't just the loop resetting itself? The latency varies from player to player.

I never got far enough to burn a disc, it was just in the dvd preview and on teh timeline for the backgground media.
I messed with it more and got it to work. I had to change the general properties for the menu page from menulength auto-calculate to specify then cut off like 0.2 seconds, then the black frames were cut off.
I still dont know why it happens but at least this work around seems to function.

There is a chance this is just a preview issue, but if you are comfortable with it that is okay.

Your DVD player may act differently, it will probably pause temporarily.
