Looping opening video

Post by jparnold »

I have read with interest a few posts from people wishing to create (burn) a DVD with looping video and noted Steve's suggestion of using DVD Workshop.

What I want to do is create (burn) a DVD with TWO CLIPS and "Use first clip as introductory video" and I want just that clip to LOOP without a break between the finish and restart. I think that I have done this before but there is always a 'pregnant pause' between when the clip ends and when it restarts.Is it possible to have no pause with VS10+ and if not what (software) will do this for me? I want this more for looping the background music than the actual video.

How long is the "Looping" video -- and do you want it as the "Intro" video, but then go to a menu, or just keep looping (in which case, how do you select the 2nd Title) :?:

But regardless, anytime you "loop" around, you will get a pause during the transition. You could "mask" it a little by making multiple versions into one longer Title. For instance, say you had a 10-second video, but a 30-second audio clip -- create one long 30-second video clip (repeating the 10-second 3 times), and add the 30-second audio.

Regards,
George
