Making custom menu transitions in DVD Lab Pro

[stokefan]

Hi all,

I have two still menus which I want to link together with an MPEG2 video in DVD Lab Pro. (I have got a version of this MPEG2 in m2v format thanks to TMPGEnc 3 XP already).

I don't know how to add the m2v though, as it doesn't seem to play back, or plays back all garbled. The way i've been adding the m2v is by the following:

Menu > Transitions > Generate New > making any old DVD Lab Pro transition, then saving it as an m2v, but then replacing that m2v with the video footage I have converted from my MPEG2, but this doesn't work.

Can anyone help me out please?

I hope i've been clear but if not please ask for clarification on anything!

You are doing it the wrong way. Simply add it to your assets. Then use it to create a motion menu with no buttons. Then use the connections window adjust the connections so that your starting menu links to this new motion menu, and when it finishes playing it links to the next still menu.
