Continuous play DVD

John R

Is there any way anyone knows of to create a video DVD for standard home players that will play from beginning to end and then continue from the beginning again without any intervention?

Dont think it's possible, because the DVD laser will have to jump back to the top of the disk.

depending on what you use to author the dvd, it is possible to continually play the same clip over and over and over..... without any user intervention.

with something like dvd maestro it's a piece of p... quite simple to do.

John R

Yup, I was pretty sure it could be done, just a case of getting the software to do it.
DVD maestro is a non starter though, it is hard to find and far to expensive for anything but professional use.

well if you have access to a mac and dvd studio pro, try this tutorial from creative cow. linky

It is possible for the same clip to be played over and over yes but I think what Lump meant when he said no is the fact that there will be a slight pause on the screen, there's no way it'd be seemless.

Lump

Yea, that's what I ment.... the disc will stay playing, most players have the option to do that.... but there will be a jump/pause/flash.

I did this last week with adobe encore 1.5 after using the program for just 5 mins. Easily done.
