Video Loop

[Terry Esslinger]

Setting on DVD player “Loop” or “continuous play”

[Brian Houghtby]

On the 3 dvd players I have here, 2 of them do that and one doesn’t. This is for a tradeshow coming up and I have to use the TV/DVD player provided and I do not know if it has this feature or not. Was hoping I could do it on the DVD itself and not have to rely on the player.

Hi,

You put your video in DVDA, hope youre’ familiar with this.
Then set “end action” to itself, so your video will be looping on every player.

Prepare and burn to a rewritable, to see that it works as you planned.

Hope I could help

By DVDA, you mean DVD architect?

Yes, of course 😉

I tried to follow this, but am not sure what you mean by setting end action to itself. I found the properties box and end action button. I get the following choices:
Command
Link (selected)
Stop
Destination
most recent menu
Zach’s video (selected–the only segment on the program)
menu 1
Destination Chapter
menu/chapter
menu/chapter
menu/chapter
I burned a disk and it still did not loop. Do you see something I am missing? I am using DVDA 4.5, build 56.
Thanks for your help.

Set the Destination button to Zach’s video.
When it gets to the end of the video, it’ll automatically go (loop) to it again and again and again, etc.

Mike,
The last DVD that I made had the destination set to Zach’s video, but did not loop. Under Media Properties, there is a file called menu which has the same options as end action. It did not show Zachs video as destination, so I changed it and burned another DVD. The new one did not loop on either my DVD burner or player.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks again for your help.
Bob

Hi,

I try it as simple as possible:
Start DVDA. File menu/new. Choose single movie.
look for your video file, and open it.
Let’s call it Zachs video
Now you have your vide file in your DVDA project.
Select your video (on the left side click on zachs video).
Then on the right side under media properties look for “end action”, select it by clicking, then under it set command to “link”, then “destination” to zachs video.

Ready to go, prepare this DVD and it must loop zachs video forever :)))

Regards

Laszio,
I think that your description is exactly what I have done, but will start over to make sure I have the single movie selection correct.
Thanks for your patience.
