I have created a video for my company that will be shown at an upcoming trade show. Since I don’t have access to the DVD player that they will be using at the facility, I’m hoping to be able to create a DVD that will automatically loop on its own.

My Macbook Pro didn’t come with iDVD, so I will need to get something from the App Store, and I can’t seem to find one that mentions this capability in the description. Is it more or less a standard thing?

If it matters, I am running Yosemite 10.10.2.

Either find someone with iLife '11, or buy a used copy on ebay.

Toast will do this, too, but it’s not free.

You might try this: [Burn - Home](http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html)  
It’s free, but I don’t know how much control you have over the menus.

Thanks! I’m willing to pay for the software, but only if I know for sure it will do what I need. And it’s kind of a rush, so obtaining a copy of iLife probably won’t work.

I’ll try the free software first, since I don’t really need special menus or anything, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll get Toast.
