Making a DVD loop forever?	Can't Post

Does anyone know how to make an entire DVD loop over and over again as soon as you press play? Either in DVDSP or iDVD (prefer iDVD because I'm really bad at DVDSP.) No, just hitting the replay button on the DVD player won't do.

Super easy! In DVDSP, you set the disc's first play to the track you want to loop. You set that track's "Jump to", where you tell it where to go after it plays, to the same track. Simple as that. It'll start up when you put it in the player and repeat non-stop until you yank that puppy out.

Ah, that sounds simple enough even for me to do. Thanks.

There is an actual step by step tutorial from the lafcpug.org website or kenstone.net.

I made the DVD as you said, and it works great. I can't fast forward or do anything other than pause it, but that's perfect - just what I wanted. (It's for a vendor show, my demo's supposed to play over and over again in a corner there.) So THANKS!

There are remote control settings in DVDSP that can be set to allow/disallow functions. Also, you can set chapter marks in the track timeline that will allow you to skip forward and back.

This might be a good time to read some of the on-line help files for DVDSP...
