    Hello everyone,

    Is it possible to create a DVD that will continuously play in a loop using Compressor? My source is a 7 minute quicktime. Thanks in advance for any info!

    Compressor doesn’t author a disc, it only encodes

    Make your mpeg from compressor and bring it into DVDSP and set the movies end jump back to itself

    Hi Andrew,

    Many DVD players have this function, do you have control of what player is used? If not, do you have DVD Studio Pro?

    Sure it does. It’s in the Job Action menu in the inspector. Though it may be extremely limited in customization options. It does Blu-ray as well. The DVD could be set to play on insert and the DVD player set to loop play.

    Thanks for the replies fellas. I wound up exporting my sequence from Premiere in MPEG2 then importing into Encore. From there I was able to encode a DVD to loop back to the beginning once it reaches the end.
