Looping Movie Playback


Normally, a movie or scene plays its frames and finishes, moving on to the next scene or returning to the menu. However, you can opt to loop a movie so that once started it will replay until you intervene.

To loop a movie:

1.

Click the Map button to switch to the Map view.

2.

Select a movie file.

3.

Choose Loop Movie from the Advanced menu. A loop icon appears on the movie clip (Figure 21.23).

Figure 21.23. A loop icon in the Map view indicates that a movie will replay once it reaches its end.


Tips

  • When you loop a movie chapter that's part of a larger movie, all of its chapters include the loop icon and the entire movie loops, not an individual chapter.

  • This may be too obvious, but never loop an AutoPlay movie. If you do, the DVD will never proceed to the main menu.

  • Did I say never? Looping the AutoPlay movie might be what you want if you're creating a video that needs to keep playing in a kiosk mode (such as for a convention booth, art installation, or other presentation).
