DVDMaestro experts,

I would like to know how you can get a short sound to play when ever a user selects a button on a menu. I would like the menu image to stay there until the sound finishes and then move on to the movie that has been selected.
I can't find a way to do this apart from creating another movie with a still image and the sound in question which is then linked to the original menu

Any ideas ?

Though it may seem crude, the usual (expected) way to do that is to direct the user from the current menu to a new menu that looks exactly the same as the previous, but has your sound as background. That new menu should link to the previous menu at the end of the sound. DVD players must provide seamless transitions between these menus, so you should not notice the menu change. I already made some testing with this kind of work, and I was successful.
