Menu does not loop when played back on Xbox

[duncan_a_thomas]

Hello - please could someone help.

In Workshop 2, I've created the project and produced the DVD.

I have a motion menu set to Infinite loop.

It plays back fine, and the menu loops, on my PC and on a few DVD players I've tried.

It doesn't loop on my Xbox DVD player, however. It plays once, then goes into the default (i.e. plays my film).

I'd like to solve this problem, if possible, as it might indicate a problem that will also show up at a later stage on various other DVD players.

With thanks,
Duncan, UK

Sounds like an X-box firmware fault.

What happens when you play a Retail DVD with a looping motion menu? does the Menu loop, or does it start playing the video

Thanks for the replies. Have now finished editing the elements and am back to the menu problem. Some further details:

(1) My Xbox has been very robust in playing DVDs - both retail and those burned in other software (e.g. Pinnacle Studio 9).

(2) The problem also appears when I put the disc into my PC (using PowerDVD for playback).

The problem on the PC is that after the first play, when the menu loops the buttons are greyed out and cannot be highlighted. If this is happening on the Xbox then it's clear why it goes straight to playing (as the buttons 'disappear').

So it seems clear the problem is either:

(A) How I've created the menu in Workshop 2 - quite likely as it's the first time I've done it (it's a motion menu, with text using clips 'dragged and dropped' onto them to link them, plus sound in the background, set to loop)

OR

(B) A software problem in Workshop 2...

Seems (A) is more likely.

Any help very much appreciated! (I've posted to the Ulead tech support after registered everything, but they've not replied...)

Thanks - Duncan
