I have been trying unsuccessfully to create motion menu's with DVD-LAB. I am using the trial for the "regular" version of DVD-LAB. I have added a M2V file to the menu background, added a JPG pic on top of it with transparency so the motion is visible thru it, and added a title to the screen top. I have tried this 2 ways, both unsuccessful.
1) do the above and then go straight to COMPILE DVD. doing it this way, I lose the JPG image and the TITLE at screen top, and ONLY see the M2V background in motion and any buttons that were added - I lose the JPG and the TITLE.
2) render the motion menu, then add back in as background. doing it this way, I get a (large - 3+gig) AVI file, that has all the images and the motion when played. however when I use TMPGenc to convert it to M2V, the resulting M2V does not have any motion to it. It has the TITLE, the JPG, and a static background. I have viewed the M2V from within DVD-lab and from a different player, both show it as static. is there som eother way to convert the AVI back to M2V, or some required settings for TMPGenc to do it properly?

Patrick,
I only use DVDLab occassionally, but in Maestro, I do motion menus using your method 2 and it works fine. I render the motion menu to AVI in Sony Vegas Video 5, encode to m2v using TMPGEnc, and place on the menu. It has worked fine. I don't know why you would be getting a static m2v file. What are your encode settings? Do you watch the preview while it is encoding? If so, does the preview show the motion properly?
Sorry I can't be more help -- but I think that your approach should definitely work.

To achieve this, you will need something more than just DVD-LAB. You'll also need a video editor, like VideoFactory 2.0.

Scroll down to '2. Motion Menu With Overlay'.My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.
