Adding a soundtrack under a looping movie

Hey Guys,
Im making this DVD, which has 7 small movies on it, and the whole thing loops. No menus or anything else like that. What Im trying to do now, is have a stack of songs, that play in the background, and keep playing, even when the movie loops.

Problem:
Most of the movies are less than a minute long, so if I put a song behind it, the movie plays, and then sits there with a black screen until the song is finished.

Ive tried making it up as a music compilation, adding the songs, and then adding the movies to that - same deal. Im toying with the idea of compressing the 7 movies into 1 - but it looks like Ill have to keep adding the movie file, and having different songs for each instance of the movie (if that makes sense), which will cut down how many songs I can fit on the disc, big time (it's going to be playing in a shop all day long, so Im not really keen on having the same 10 songs looping over and over)....

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Jeff

I may be wrong, but it sounds like you want music that loops indepedently of the video that's playing. If so, it can't be done That's not how DVDs work. The audio is attached to the video.

If I misunderstood you, nevermind. :)
