Continue background music to following menu?

[Wayne Berndz]

Hi, I just authored my first DVD (with DVD-Lab) and have the following problem: I use one main menu and several chapter selection menus, all with background music. Now I want the music not to start from the beginning everytime I get into a new menu, but to continue throughout all the menus. Is there a way to do this? If not with DVD-Lab, maybe with some other program?

Thanks for your help

The DVD specs don't allow you to do this and I don't think there's any workaround.

Found this annoying in DVD lab also and I can't find any work round either, the only way to have it sound slightly better is to have a diffirent track on each menu.

It's not DVD-Lab's fault. It's just that it can't be done, with DVD-Lab or any other tool.
Don't make the music too loud. Reducing the volume takes the attention away and it puts it sort of "in the background" but it's still pleasant. Make a transition of some 2-3 seconds between the menus and put a small audio clip that fades out at the end but it starts sort of "loud" to contrast the current audio being played. That should make it less "annoying".
