In DVD Maestro I'd like a small video clip to play once a menu item is chosen.

For example, if a chapter is chosen i'd like that thumbnail to shoot forward to full size on the screen. I know how to make the video, i just need to know if there is a way to do this.

THANKS!

You need to make a seperate video clip of the menu item zooming out to fill the screen, make it a movie, then set it up so when the button is selected, the clip is played, then the end action links to wherever you want to go next.

I recommend you crank the bitrate up really high when you encode these little clips of yours, because otherwise there will be not enough bitrate to allocate for the severe amount of movement which your "expanding button" video stream will have.

Also be aware that you *may* have problems with interlacing, with this effect. On the other hand, you may be fine. Suck it and see.
Good luck.
