If I have a menu with a video background, is there a way to insert another background video specific to a button in the same menu when it is selected before it completes the link? ie Shrek main menu to special features. It has the background video playing and when special features is selected the background video changes in the original menu and then it goes to the special features menu.

Drag the transition media file from the Media Explorer (or Windows Explorer) to the root folder in the Project Overview window. Dragging a file to the root folder adds the media to your project without creating a button on a menu.

Set the transition media's end action to link to the menu or title that you want to display after the transition.

Double-click a menu in the Project Overview window (or navigate in the workspace) to open the menu you want to edit.

Select a button.

Set the button action to play the transition media.

When a user activates the button, the button plays the transition media, and the transition media's end action displays the target menu or title.

Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each button on the menu.

You can create multiple copies of your transition media at the root of the Project Overview window and specify a different menu as an end action for each instance. The transition media will only be saved to the DVD once.

Multiple titles or media files that use the same video, audio, and subtitle streams will only be saved once on the disc. For more information, please see the Optimizing Your Project topic.

No Problem, all I did was hit F1 on the keyboard, go to index, type in transitions and VOILA, use the help section, it is LOADED with info. This program has a nicer help than most I will say that.
