geoffsherenow,
welcome to the volunteer forum.
You certainly can make a DVD that loops, it's the easiest type to create, meaning only that menus are sometimes a bit troublesome.
While in the Menu module, the room where you can choose your actual menu Preferences , scroll down to the bottom and you'll see the NO MENU choice. Choose that. Apply to all pages.
The DVD will loop till the power goes off. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.

Thanks Barry for the lightning fast reply, much appreciated.
One other question if I may...when I selected No Menu, up came a blue screen with some gradient titled DVD, and the first frame of my video as a thumbnail, which I will assume is in effect the play button.

Question...can I make an auto-play with no menu at all, or is it a situation where I have to use the thumbnail to start the program rolling?

Thanks much, Geoff

That is just the way it displays in the program. If you burn a disc (try an RW diac to experiment with) then the vidoe will just start playing when you push the play button. .

Anything I post unless stated with a reference is my personal opinion.

Hi Geoff -

When you select No Menu, the image (blue gradient) is just a space filler. When you burn the DVD it will just play when inserted - then keep repeating.

Another possibility (if you want the video to repeat itself on a PC) is to use a media player that allow you you select auto-repeat. Splash Pro is an example.
