4-End of dics 1 insert disc 2 (TGA or BMP or MPEG still picture)

I want to Author in such way that if i select Button NO-1 whch is (Play movie)
the movie should start from start to end and after movie the end disc TGA should appear.

When i select Button No-2 which is (Select Songs)All songs shouls play one after other and after completing it should come to the song menu insted of main menu.

Dear Friend,

When I said Songs I meant Songs in Video.And my Movie length is 88 min.So there is no way I can have seperate mpg files for songs.I have to use the Movie File and give IN Time and Max Duration of Play as it could be done in Videopack 4.0 using Different Playlists.I switched to Easyvcd as Videopack 4.0 does burn a 90 min. VCD.

Thanks a Lot.
