Hi, I am using movie studio 4 + DVD. Can anyone please tel me how to create a DVD thet will repeat, ie plays over and over again. I want to advertise stock in a shop.
Regards Daniel..
I do not think that a DVD without a menu will automatically repeat itself. In fact, I'm fairly sure it will not. I do not think DVDA has the ability to insert the commands to auto repeat. Simplest way to do this is, as previously suggested, to use a DVD player's repeat function. I would, however, still create such a disc without menus for simplicity under these circumstances.
I actually use Nero to author DVDs as it has this feature - you can build a DVD with a menu, and then set the first chapter to play after a certain delay (i.e. 1 second); then subsequent chapters play in sequence. At the end of the last chapter, the menu appears again for one second, and the cycle repeats.
I'm not sure if this can be done in DVD architect... there may be freeware tools that can author the DVD like this as well
Are there any freeware authoring apps at all, other than VobEdit?
While I've never personally used it, I have heard good things about dvdauthor. It is a command line program, but it has two gui front-ends available. The dvdauthorgui front-end has gotten some great feedback (and a few negatives) over at videohelp.com.
You can find it in the list of DVD authoring tools at:
The way I had a DVD repeat itself was by using DVD-Lab. In it, you can tell the end of the movie where to branch to. Since it can not branch to itself, I put in a 1/2 second black clip so the movie would branch to the clip, then the clip would branch to the start of the movie, there by resulting in a repeating video.
architect 3 that comes with movie studio 6 platinum
allows you to set end actions. I just did a looping video
with no menu. I don't think yours can set end actions.
