Hi there, just trying to make a simple menu fora concert video I'm doing. I figured out how to add an image but I would like some of the music playing during the menue. How do I do this? Thanks

You have to create a video clip for your menu. Even if you just want music over a still image, you have to create a video clip of that image with the music playing to the length you need, then use this as the menu background - i.e. a motion menu. It is a work around, but it is the only way to do it in TDA 1.x. I don't know if this is fixed in TDA 2.0

So How do I create a video clip? I usually add a Video_TS folder to create my new dvd, do I need to do the same for this clip?

i use a fav bit of music and a still pic then use tmpeg to create a mpg file then in dvd author click on the background and select the mpg file that should be it, or you could do an animation or edit part of the film and use that with your bit of music or even just use the sound from the film/clip and creat mpg file
