The objective of this guide is to author menus with motion video background. The DVD specifications support the placement of menu buttons on a video clip or a still image with audio accompaniment. The DVD virtual machine command set has a number of specific instructions that support the playback of motion video with or without audio background in a seamless looping fashion. DVD-Lab Pro simplifies the process of creating motion menu and slide shows. These advanced features of the DVD technology can be produced by simple drag-and-drop operations. DVD-Lab Pro generates the required commands automatically so that the DVD authors do not have to be aware of the technical details of these features. We are going to create a root menu having motion video background and audio accompaniment. The root menu provides access to a group of slide shows. A slide show consists of one or more still images displayed for a specified duration with audio accompaniment. We also demonstrate the concept of random selection of slide shows using the DVD virtual command. This guide helps you achieve the following expertise:

Learn how to author high-quality DVD menu with motion video background and audio accompaniment.
Advanced usage of the DVD virtual machine commands to improve the seamless playback of motion video background with audio accompaniment (LinkCN).
Methods to play back a program or title selection randomly.
