I have a client that wants their project to run continually once they put the dvd in the player. How can I make the 17 minute movie, created in Vegas7, using DVDA-4, loop so it plays over and over without them having to keep hitting the start button? Thanks in advance for any help.

Set the End Jump of the video to point to Chapter 1 of the video, and it will loop. I haven't tried this, so perhaps you can't End Jump a track to itself. If that is true, then use a small Slug file (black video & silence) of a second or two, End Jump from video to Slug track, then End Jump from Slug track to Video:Chapter 1. You can set First Play of the disc to the Slug track, and the disc will not only loop, but it will self-start.

Thanks for the idea. What I wound up doing was starting a new single movie project, pointed to the name of the movie, then in properties I clicked end action button, then clicked the command - link button, then clicked the destination button for the drop down and the name of the movie was in the drop down, and clicked on that. It works great. Thanks a lot for responding and giving me your ideas. Michael
