autostart and continuous play

Post by chrisatwork »

Hi

Just feeling my way around DVDWS2 after DVDit.

Need to create an autostarting DVD with one video clip which will auto repeat continuously for exhibition use. No menu needed or wanted.

Looking on forum seems to indicate that I might need to use a dummy menu, but not sure how to implement this and autostart.

Can someone explain how to do what I want, as I have around 50 different DVD's to produce using this format, and I don't really want to have to go back to DVDit to do it.

Many thanks

Christopher

1. EDIT Step: Import your Video to the DVD WS Timeline.
2. MENU Step: Drag the single Chapter thumbnail that you have on the right hand side of the scree to the Blank Menu Page.

3. Make the button Invisible and also Color Mapping = None.

4. Select the auto activate option

5. Still image time out period = 1 (You can't have zero)

That's it - it should now work.
