How to make a auto play dvd

1) Choose DVD Studio Pro > Preferences and select Encoding at the top right. - Set the Video Standard to NTSC or PAL and Aspect Ratio to 4:3 or 16:9, depending upon your footage. - For the best quality, set Encode Mode to Two Pass VBR. - The Bit Rate setting will depend upon how long your video is: for less than 60 minutes, set Bit rate to 6.8 Mbps, for 60-90 min, use 5 Mbps, for 90-12 min, use 3.5 Mbps. - Set Max Bit rate to 7.5 Mbps, and Motion Estimation to Best. - Set Encoding Mode to Encode to Background encoding to encode your video to MPEG-2 while you work, or Encode on build to encode just before burning a DVD.

2) import your QuickTime movie

3) delete menu 1 (using Outline Tab)

4) set Firs Play to your Track

5) To set the First Play of your DVD, click the First Play pop-up menu and select "Tracks and Stories > Track 1 > [Track]." Now your Track will be the first thing that plays when you insert the DVD into a DVD player.

6) Finally, the only thing left to do is to set the End Jump of Track 1. A Track must lead somewhere when it is finished playing, or the DVD player will freeze. In this bare bones DVD, you will set the Track to loop. First, select Track 1 in the Outline Tab. The Inspector will update to show the properties of Track 1.

7) To set the track to loop, you will set the End Jump property of the Track. Click the End Jump pop-up menu and set it to "Tracks & Stories > Track 1 > [Track]." This sets the End Jump to lead back to itself.
