FCPX to DVD

FCPX to DVD was created by mitchino
A friend asked me to help with his art project, he gave me a .mov file from a 5d mk ii, which I imported into FCPX, looped it until it's two hours long, and added an audio track. I then exported it as a ProRes movie.
I now need to burn it on to a DVD so that an art gallery can play it in their DVD player.
What's the simplest way? No DVD menu needed, just something that plays when stuck in a standard DVD player.

Share menu, DVD, set it to simply play the movie when inserted into a player. Most players will have a loop feature on them to loop for you.
The Blu Ray option actually has an option (missing from SD DVD) to select that gives you a Loop Movie button on the main menu. It will just loop over and over and over. This allows a short segment to be encoded with less compression and higher image quality. A 10 minute video will be encoded with less compression than a 2 hour video.
Out side of this, something like Toast 11 Pro, DVD Studio Pro, or Adobe's DVD authoring apps will actually let you set to do continuous loops.
But if you have your 2 hours set, just use the regular DVD option in the Share menu, burn it, let it play. Be sure to use a known quality blank DVD for better compatibility.

Thanks BenB.
Couldn't get FCPX to burn the DVD - kept giving me a 'Failed' message.
So used Toast and all is well.
