DVD Architect 2.0 Menu size limit? at DVinfo.net

Jamie Francis · July 14th, 2005, 12:49 AM

I am using DVDarch 2.0 and found I can only have a menu that is no bigger than 1 GB. Can I change this? All I am doing is making a infinite loop of a video that is larger than 1 gb, that also makes the user not have to press play. Anyone have any idea how to change this limit?

thanks

afaik, dvd's do not require a menu at all, perhaps that is a limitation of your authoring software? i can drop an mpeg2 file in there, make it first play, and loop it back to itself.

I think you are going about this the wrong way. Something along the following
lines should be possible:

1. remove the menu

2. have the first start go directly to the movie

When the disc is inserted the movie starts to play with no menu.

DVD Architect also has a movie only project, but this could've been introduced
in version 3. I'm not sure.

i dont get the question..

DVDA2 allows for 4 different typs of DVD file system.
will need mroe info to assist however, such as whether or not your wanting a motion menu, or whether you want to movie to play as soon as the disc is inserted.
Also as to how long your looped video runs for, as you can actually assign this to occur during playback.

like i said, will need more info to assist
