motion menus and backgrounds for use in DVD Workshop 2?

[rubygold]

I'm using ULEAD DVD Workshop 2 and have found my way around all the basics just fine. The templates for motion menus/backgrounds are okay, but, I'd like to build my own motion menus/backgrounds that better suit my projects.

Specifically I'm wondering if:
1) Workshop 2 has the capacity to let you use motion menus and backgrounds from your own avi and graphics files; and

2) if so, can anyone give me some tips or on how to build such motion menus/backgrounds that will behave properly as motion menus/backrounds like that for DVD Workshop 2.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

1) Yes.
2) It's just another video file, nothing special. Drop it on the background instead of an image. Easy as that. For fancy menus, learn to use Premiere/Vegas and edit something good.

DVDWS2 also has menu transitions, something I've not used to date.
