ltDvdWriter.MenuLoop Property

Visual Basic Example

Syntax

Object.MenuLoop As Boolean

Remarks

Gets or sets the loop behaviour of the menu background.  Possible values are:

Value

Meaning

TRUE

The menu background loops continuously.

FALSE

The menu background video will be played only once. This is the default value.

It is not recommended to set this property to TRUE if the menu background is a still image. If the background is a still image, there is no reason to loop, since the image never changes.

It is also not recommended to use menu loop if the background contains a very short video. Some DVD drives take some time to restart playing the background and that can cause undesired effects. If you still want to use menu loop with a short video clip, you might obtain better results to concatenate the clip several times and then use this longer clip as a menu. Example: you want to use a 1 sec clip as the menu in a continuous loop. You can concatenate the clip 8 times, creating an 8-sec video clip that has your original clip playing 8 times. You can now use this 8-sec clip as background and enable the menu loop.
