Understanding menu display time and loopingThe default display setting for a menu is Hold Forever, which displays the menu indefinitely. You can limit how long a menu waits for the viewer to activate a button, and you can designate what should display next if the viewer makes no selection. Controlling the display time of a menu is usually necessary in DVDs left running to be viewed by many people, such as in information kiosks, museum displays, or educational settings. When one viewer leaves, it is important that the DVD returns to the main menu so that it is ready for the next viewer. The four settings control the duration and looping of a menu: Hold Forever, Duration, Loop #, and Loop Point. When selected, Hold Forever sets the menu to display indefinitely until the viewer activates a button. Duration, Loop #, and Loop Point control the display time and repetition of the menu.
