DVD Commercial Reel...the last set of DVD's I'll probably be making.

I have one last client that still insists on DVD's with all of their commercials on them for their file..

Before FCPX, we used FCP7 and had iDVD on board.

We have new computers, and a Lenovo DVD external burner...the producer insisted on being able to give them DVD's.

I can create a dvd with chapters and a menu on FCPX. Great for movies, but I have 10 commercials they want to have on one dvd.

As it is set up now, menu's are there, you can click to a spot, but it doesn't return to the main menu after the spot is done playing.

The dvd continues to play through to the end.

Is there a way to get the dvd to return to the main menu after a :30 spot has run?

Any links to a thread or url covering this would be greatly appreciated as well.

No.
Not in FCPX, not in iDVD.
Only way would be to put the 10 movies as individual movies, not chapters of one big one => not supported by FCPX, and in iDVD the disk would lack a 'play all'-button (ok, you could fake it with an 11th 'all' movie …)

… you have to use a 3td party app, such as Toast, which has a play-all feature…

Thanks for the response.

Time to let the client know it's the end of the technological line for dvd's...or pony up the cash.
