looping DVD presentation

I have put a 10 minute training dvd together in vegas 4, and need to know if there is anyway to loop it from begining, It is being played continuously on a standard home DVD player, I know you can press repeat on the DVD player but the unit will be unattended most of the day.
would be great to know if it is possible.

Dear Noordam: My husband and I just did this at a Wedding expo last weekend. We have a Sony home DVD player and we put togheter a sample Wedding photo montage in Vegas. We wanted it to play continoulsy throughout the day without either of us having to attend to it. We were able to accomplish this by setting up some menu options through the DVD player itself. If you get out the manual for your particular DVD player, look for the instructions on how to set up the menu options for "Continous Play" or "Repeat Play". It worked like a charm. The DVD played all day without either of us having to do anything.

Other than that, 12 minutes should fit in the 1Gig limit for that applies to motion menu backgrounds. Just don't drop any media or buttons/text on the menu background. ie A menu with nothing on the menu but the motion background (with audio track).

It is a workaround (if you followed me that is?)!

You can also load it as the introductory video and have nothing else there, it will play continuously

...or, you could hire a homeless person to sit next to the dvd player with a remote and his only job would be to continue to press "play" every 10 minutes and 1 second.
