Movie to loop continuously?

A client needs this for a display. There seem to be more than one possible way to achieve this using DVDA2, but I would appreciate recommendations as to the best way ...

ideas so far:
Have the movie as background to a menu and set it to loop. (1 hour possible?)

Have the movie link back to itself as an end action

Thanks for any ideas.

That's how I'd do it.

Yep that’s how I would do it to. Just click on File->New... and select the Single Movie setting. It will prompt you for the movie file. Then just change the end action to link to itself and you have a DVD that automatically plays and loops forever.

Just a postscript - it worked really well - just before the end of the MPEG2 clip I dissolved to the same gradient that was there at the beginning, and you can't even see the join when the loop is activated.
