OT – Looping “Slide Show”
I have been handed a 3 minute slide show. They want to be able to launch the show and have it loop continuously until they stop it. It will be run on a notebook PC. I can use Quicktime, Windows Media Player, Flash, even PowerPoint. I know how to enable looping in Quicktime Player, but is there a way to “embed” that so all the client has to do is double-click on the file? These will not be video people running the presentation. Thanks.

Looping is a setting of most players, not usually a flag you can set in the file. I see a way to do that in WMP for Mac, Play>Repeat, so there should be a way to do it in WMP. Or you might be able to set a flag inside WMP Encoder, free for the PC from Microsoft.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

I do this with DVDs and have the user press the repeat button on the remote. There may be a way to script it in DVD Studio Pro so that the repeat is automatic. I would post in that forum and see what turns up. Then you could just play the DVD in the computer.
Thanks,

Off topic, but I think it’s a bit silly to require the user to do anything if you want to loop a track on a dvd. You don’t need a script. Just set the track’s End Jump property to itself and it will loop forever.

bdr, thanks! Being completely new to DVD Studio Pro, I haven’t spent much time with it yet. There’s a lot I have to learn. With what I was using, I was very limited and that was not an option.
cweath, there you go. Just author it as a DVD in DVD Studio Pro and play the DVD on the computer. I’m sure you could even play it from the hard drive. I haven’t tried that either since I got my mac.
Thanks,

IF YOU USE POWERPOINT YOU CAN GO TO SLIDE SHOW IN THE MENU, THEN IN “SET UP SHOW” CLICK “LOOP CONTINUOUSLY”.
