Digital Workshop

Have a problem with a DVD-publication created with Opus...

The Opus presentation has 11 pages with no interactive menus; It automatically jumps (after a certain delay) from one page to the next page and ends after about 5 minutes.
It runs OK in Opus and when I create the DVD and put in my DVD-player it also works OK... However, I need to repeat the DVD over and over again, and that doesn't work, even if the DVD-player is put into 'repeat mode'!

Another 'strange thing' is that when I load the .VOB-file in a video-editing programme like Magix, it seems to be only 22 seconds long. This is about the time it takes to show page one... Playing it in Magix, it completely shows page 1 and for a few seconds some other pages!!!???
Running the .VOB-file in a programme like VLC-player or Windows Mediaplayer on my PC, works almost OK... I see every page, but some parts on the page are not ompletely shown (in my case some text)...
Playing it in Mediaplayer Classic however shows the complete presentation without any problem...
So in all... some "very strange things happen" with the DVD that I have created!!!

Any one with an option to solve this DVD 'repeat' behaviour?

Hi Jan,

First off, ignore VLC it does strange things even to my normal DVDs.

DVD authoring isn't my forte, but this worked. Created a publication with five pages and goto next page after delay on first four. Last page used goto first page. Then published with no exit and no time limit. Created DVD. Played and looped fine in both WMP classic / WMC and as ISO on our media box - didn't need repeat on player.

Hello Mack,

MANY THANKS for your solution to my 'DVD problem'... It works!
I have tested it on three different DVD-players (without repeat) and it worked on all of them...
