Looping dvd's

Quick question,

currently doing some decent testing of S-M with our led screens here in the warehouse (currently running a 7.5x2.5Mtr screen).

Having a tough time getting it to accept a clients DVD (with no menu, just a disk of 5 video chapters) It will play once, but the LOOP option in link doesn't... and the link "at end" option is greyed out.

Suggestions?

Re: Looping dvd's

Off the top of my head I am not sure if DVDs will support looping. I can tell you that it definately will not loop until you set an end cue point. The DVD format is such that a DVD usually never finishes playing so it needs to know where the end is.

I am happy to look at this for you, would be easier if I could get the DVD you are testing.

As always, thanks for the help!

The DVD´s i´m looking at are "generic" dvds of promotional videos from a client. there is no other information on the disks other than the 5 video chapters, no menus, no nothing.

Its the ones I had a few weeks ago in the north of spain. There I was using the video capture card and playing them via a standard DVD player.. however the quality of the image, when playing them direct from the pc´s drive, is astonishing!

We´re currently testing SM in line with a 7.5x2.5 mtr screen in the warehouse....

I think that I have not added the capability to loop DVDs but should be fairly easy to do. Most users work with video files as they tend to be easier and more reliable. I will add looping to the next version features.
