am creating a dvd for work with promo trailers on, i need it so that after its finished playing, it loops back to the begininng and carries on playing, how would i do this?

the dvd will have no menus or anything fancy, i need it to go into the player and just play constantly..

thanks.

adobe did offer 30 day encore trial, which is probably an overkill for this project, but whatever works.

i used dvdshrink to reauthor different trailers from different source dvds so they are now they are on a single dvd, however i am unable to press "skip forward" to skip to the next clip, should that work when reauthoring?

using adobe encore, am i able to take a dvd image that i already have and make it loop?

it seems i have no chapters (rather 28 seperate titles) which is why the jump to chapter method of looping doesnt seem to work.

i have noticed the command table under VTS_PGCITI/VTS_PGC_1 for 01-27 is different to 28.

01-27 has:

1.Pre Command Set GPreg<0> mov (set-val)<0>
1.Post Command Set GPreg<0> mov (set-val)<the number of the file i've opened>
2.Post Command (CallSS FP) Call First-Play domain PGC [Resume Cell: 1]

whereas 28 has:

1. Pre Command Set GPreg<0> mov (set-val)<0>
1. Post Command Exit

could i simply replace the exit command on 28 with the Set GPreg and CallSSFP command from one of the others?

edit: had a bit of an idea, will "(JumpTT) Jump to Title: 1" instead of the exit command on #28 do what i'm after?

You can't use JumpTT in a title!

But you can use JumpVTS_TT

Yes, mpucoder, but here, it's a compilation of titles made with DVDShrink. Each title is in its own VTS, and therefore JumpVTS_TT cannot be used to jump from title to title.
