DVD menus; how can you stop the music repeating after 15 seconds?

When I added music to the background of a DVD menu, I set it to play the whole track through. But when I try the menu, it restarts the music when the menu animation loops which is every 15 seconds. Also, it means the preview video barely gets going before it restarts making the whole thing look very amateur.

How do I specify the loop interval of the DVD menu itself (presumably in the menu designer?) or, at least of the music?

Thank you,

Had the same problem and figured it out using the internal helpfile:

click on the button with the triungla and the two errors to open the playback mode settings window (see screenshot)

in the new screen you can change the time i( I had 18 seconds as default)- you can change it to 99 seconds - thats the maximum unfortunatly!

Great, thankyou. Trouble is that added 200Mb to my DVD! How rubbish; looks like it extends the menu as a video rather than repeating the same bit over and over. So I had to knock that idea on the head. The issues with that crappy disk maker continue to mount lol AMD Phenom II X6 1100XT
