iDVD 6: Looped movies do not play on burned DVD

Symptom

If you choose Advanced > Loop Movie, the movie may not play when selected from the DVD menu screen on your burned DVD. In this case, the movie may preview correctly in iDVD, but after the movie is burned, clicking the button to play the selected movie appears to do nothing when playing the actual disc.

Solution

To resolve this issue, add a transition to the button assigned to the looped movie. After setting your movie to loop, follow these steps:

1. If you are in Map view, exit Map view (click Return or choose View > Hide Map).
2. Select the button linked to the looped movie from the Menu preview pane.
3. Click Buttons in the iDVD window to open the Buttons pane.
4. Choose a transition from the Transitions pop-up menu.

Adding the transition should allow the movie to play when selected from the menu.
