    Good Morning and Merry Christmas. We’ve been asked to take an existing video and create a repeating loop on a DVD so when played in a store, it will keep playing all day. I had assumed that was a mechanical function on the DVD player, but someone said you can make it so that the DVD player will read that bit of code on the DVD and start playing it again automatically from the beginning. Can this be done with V8 or A4?

    Thanks very much.

    You can do this a couple of ways.
    ~Set the video as the First Play video, it’ll loop.
    ~Use an End Action to tell the video to play itself when it reaches the end.
    ~A script can also do this, but it’s the most difficult, and gets you nothing more than the previous options.

    You can do it on the DVD (even though most players will also do it as well)

    To do it on the DVD, just change the “End Action” of the video clip to point to itself. Then it will play forever.
