    I’ve been going crazy trying to figure this out and can’t so it’s time to ask for some expert help.
    I’m trying to put together a DVD for an upcoming banquet.
    The DVD consist of 5 separate interviews in addition to a 5 sec. animated logo.
    What I want is for the animation (first play?) to loop until I hit the remote’s Next button. Then it will play interview #1. At the end of this, it should return to the animation and continue looping until Next is slected again. It then goes to #2 and so on.
    I’ve tried playlists, end actions, button actions and anything else I can think of with no success. Obviously I’m missing something but have no idea what.
    Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated.
    BTW, I have DVDA 3.0c if that makes any difference.

    Create a menu that is the looping logo. Have 5 menu options there. Make sure the FIRST one is the first interview.

    Set the “End Action” of the interview back to the menu but set the SECOND interview as the button to be highlighted.

    Set the “End Action” of the SECOND interview back to the menu but set the THIRD interview as button to be highlighted.

    Repeat with the remaining interviews.

    Now it should behave as you are wanting EXCEPT you’ll hit ENTER each time instead of NEXT.

    Thanks Edward. Suggestions are printed off and I’m going back to the ediit suite. I’ll let you know how I make out.

    Got it!!
    Bless you Edward. I NEVER would’ve figured this out by myself.
    Now I can make a whole lot of people (especially the operator that night) very happy.
    And you know who’s buying dinner if you ever make it down to the Detroit/Windsor area 🙂
