bimicher Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Everything was done in Roxio Creator 2009 That is not much help - there are a couple of dozen applications in Creator 2009! Which ones are you using? What have you done so far? It does not cost anything to give us some information What movie do you want to run in a loop? The intro movie cannot be run in a loop as it has to go directly to the menu after it finishes playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labpup1 Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I edited my son's football video in Edit Video - Advanced. saved it as a .dmsm file - the entire video is about 5 seconds. then I went to create DVDs - Advanced. open a DVD project. selected a menu style. I then changed the menu style/background to a black background that I want to use (since it was a Raider football team). the buttons work, submenu's seem to work, etc.. my question is, can I put the 5 second video on the main menu and have it replay or loop??? I thought I could do that as an overlay but apparently not. is there another way to do that? thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will of course repeat every 5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrussell Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 If you want to keep the Raider background image, click EDIT BACKGROUND button. This brings up Videowave with the background ready to edit. Add the 5 second video as an overlay to that. you can, of course, add it several times to extend it the length to the background. When finished, click on RETURN TO MENU at the top. ------ After re-reading your questions and answers, I think I may know the problem. You can not add .dmsm files as overlays. Open Videowave Load your .dmsm file and then render the 5 second video to a file. Click OUTPUT TO FILE - the little icon that looks like a film reel. Select DV format AVI Click CREATE VIDEO I chose DV AVI because when you add it as an overlay, it will have to be re-rendered again and DV AVI will give you better quality. Then Add the DV AVI file that you saved to your MyDVD menu background when you edit the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
