I have created a photo slideshow through windows movie maker and am importing it into Roxio Easy Media Creator to burn to DVD (which I have done many times before). However, she wants the slideshow to loop/repeat automatically as it is going to stay on throughout the party. I have tried to find a function within the software but am having no luck.
Is this possible? Thanks so much for any info! |

If the file is in one of the supported formats (such as mpeg, avi, etc.), then bring the file to MyDVD and create a "DVD, no menu".

I'm not sure what format it is. I saved it in Windows Movie Maker, but have to transfer it to Roxio to burn to DVD. I'm at work so do not have the file with me. Thanks for the suggestion!! Hopefully I can do it. |

Output your WMM project as DV-AVI:
1 Open WMM and load your project 2 Choose File>Save Movie File. 3 Follow instructions for naming the file and location 4 Choose DV-AVI The final movie output will have AVI as file extension. Bring this file in MyDVD and select "DVD, no menu" type of project. This post has been edited by malatekid: Jul 23 2007, 12:09 PM -------------------- Roxio Creator 2010

It just sat there, I let it run all night and still nothing. I've saved all of my other projects in this format so I don't know why it's not working. It is 2 MB, but I have 1.87 GB available so I don't think it's a space issue. SO, I just saved it in "high quality video - (PTSC?)" and it saved fine. I'm a little nervous as to whether this will work in Roxio, I didn't have time to try this morning. If so, can I still use your instructions? Thanks for all of your help. I'm getting a little nervous as I need to have this done ASAP. |

My first post above, post #2, is for EMC version 9. So that post is not applicable in the version you have.
I have no idea what PTSC is. What is the file extension of that? If you give it a try to bring that file in DVDBuilder and if it works, I remember in EMC 7.5 (I have it but not in front of it at this time) there is an option about repeating the same title.

Defragging could help, but it couldn't hurt..
You probably need more than 1.87 GB of hard disk space. You probably need at least 4 GB. After you output it as an avi file, put it as a title on the DVD Builder menu. HOWEVER, whether you can get it to loop depends on if you have 7.1 or 7.5. If you have 7.5 there is an option under the burn pop up box to "play next title". If you have only one title on your menu, it will continue to loop and replay the title (slideshow) This post has been edited by ml: Jul 24 2007, 08:38 AM -------------------- ml

There are 3 options actually,
"Return to Menu" (the default) "Play next Title" and "Repeat title" I would try the Repeat Title one. -------------------- Larry

My apologies. The other gurus are correct and I appreciate them contributing the correct information. (My fautly memory again.)
Repeat title is obviously the correct answer and I think that option became available in the update to 7.1. ( But my memory obviously isn't the best.)

I have 7.1 on one of my computers, that's how I knew that it had those options,
 I didn't mention them all because ml was talking about one and I was adressing that. Hope it all works out well for you lalalaura.
