I have used devede
to author a DVD from an MPEG file with no menu. I've set the title to loop after it plays in the options but it doesn't actually loop in DVD players (playback simply stops). I've found this comment in a DVD FAQ:
"Almost all features of DVD such as search, pause, and scan can be disabled by the disc, which can prevent the player from searching back to the beginning of a segment. If the player uses time search to repeat a segment, then a disc with fancy non-sequential title organization will not have timecode information the player needs to search. In many cases the authors don't even realize they have prevented the use of the repeat feature."
But I don't understand how I would go about adding "timecode information" or creating "sequential titles" (there is only one title) and I don't know if this is really the cause. I can use windows or linux to author the disc so if anyone has got this working I'd like to hear how.
