What you are looking for (as described) is basically the ability control things at the cell level. DVDA2 doesn't support this.

You can create easter eggs on a menu by making the text area very small (with no text) and placing them someplace that people might not normally navigate too.

If your movie is small enough (under 1GB) then you could put the movie as the audio/video background of the menu, and provide some "hidden" menu buttons by setting all the color sets to Transparent (none).

Another alternative - if you can create your movie such that you can transition from a menu to the movie and movie to a menu on a black screen you could have a little more flexability - still, all of your menus need to total less than 1GB.

So you have something like a short opening sequence on the menu - if the viewer presses enter, then the menu transitions to a movie clip as specified by the hidden button. If they don't press enter then they transition to another menu or some other movie clip as the end action of the menu.

Then the movie clip plays and the end action takes them to a different menu with a different backgroud clip, which if they press enter takes them to a different movie clip, etc.

The only drawback to this is that you don't have any control on the menu when the button is pressed and the transition happens. With DVD Lab Pro you could do the same thing but use delayed menu buttons so you'd have a level of control, and the transitions could possibly be made to look more seamless.

Your biggest constraint is going to be that the menus can't exceed the 1GB limit.

Hmmm. Was just thinking that you might be able to get around the 1GB limit by using Lab Pro with multiple VTS's - still the trick is going to be to "hide" the transitions.
