I have a DVD project that to be author with DVD 5.0. I have set 4 scene selection and a still picture background. I also have the music play at the DVD manu BUT I want the music to continue to loop until the person is press the play button on the remote to play the video.

ps. do I click on the End Action > Command> click on Loop??? that is??? I guess I answer my own question. Yes that is. I test it and it does loop the music.

Yes, looping will allow it to loop. It works with a video background as well. One thing to remember, if you have both video and audio and wish it to loop, they have to be the same length.

Edward.

The video background, can it be with sound, I mean video/audio all together. Or it is just the video with no sound and add music for audio but it has to be the same lenght. It is correct? Can you please be more specific. Thank you.

Bruce, if you have a video file with audio, that can be used. You can also use separate audio and video files but, if you do, they need to be the same length. If they are not the same length, here's what happens:

1. Video is longer - after the audio is finished, it will go silent until the video loops.

2. Audio is longer - after the video is finished, it will go to black until the audio loops.
