to add a videowave production in MyDvd and create it so that there is no menu initially when the dvd is inserted into a dvd player, yet when it ends, a menu pops up to "play the movie again". Whenever I choose "dvd no menu" it loops my movie, yet, I don't want it played over and over again.  I would just like it to end with a menu screen, not begin with one. Hope I am making sense!! Thanks.

I don't know of a way, but I have never tried anything like that.  No menu means no menu, but maybe someone else has played with trying to do what you want.

  Hi Rachel,
  
The only thing I could think of was if you added your first movie as an Intro Movie, set it to After Playing to Go To "Your First Movie",  then add your movies and select each one to After Playing to Go To whatever is the next movie, except for your last movie, select it to After Playing to Go To My Menu. I don't have time this morning to try it out but will later when I get a chance, or if you read this you might get a chance to try it.

Thanks Karri and Grandpa Bruce - I know my request sounds crazy and maybe I should just make the menu with one movie  and be done with it!! Karri - when I get a chance, I will try out what you suggested.  There will only be one movie I am adding in MyDvd.  So basically, I want my one movie to play when it enters the dvd player, and then when it is done to stop at a menu screen to give you the option to play again, or eject the dvd. I am not so fond of the looping, but I like when the movie plays right away after it is inserted into the dvd player! Thanks guys.

Ok, I think that should work. I just tried it real quick... I added a menu, added one movie (just a short testing clip) as an Intro Movie with it set to Go To My Menu After Playing, then added that same movie as a regular Movie so that it shows up on the menu, set to Go To My Menu after Playing.  I burned it and when I put in the DVD player, the Intro Movie plays and then goes to the Menu when its done, so then you can play the Movie again if you want by clicking on it from the Menu.  (If it's an hour movie tho, I don't think they would both fit.  Probably have to be only 1/2 hour to fit since you are putting it on the DVD 2x?)

That's a very clever way to accomplish the goal. Excellent job, karri!

You ARE the woman!! Thanks so much. I get what you are saying!! The movie is only about 10 minutes give or take so time is not a factor! Thanks so much. You are so good with this stuff! I plan to go experiment when I get a chance!

Great Rachel,  Glad I could help out. Oh and btw, from your earlier post ... your request didn't sound "crazy" .... it sounded creative

[RCD74]

I finally got a chance to experiment with what Karri suggested and it works like a charm!! Thanks so much Karri. You might want to post this one in Tip and Tricks, although I am not so sure there is much of a demand for it!!
