how to override default background at end of DVD

I want to create a DVD using my own templates. I am adding my introduction media, menu backgrounds etc. which are allowing me to override the default template.

If at the end I chose to loop back to main menu, I am able to bring control to my designed menu. However if I choose the "End Action" of the last media to "Close", then after the end of the DVD, some default empty background is displayed.

I would like the DVD to end on my defined screen which says sort of "thank you" and the name of the charity organization.

Other then looping back to the menu, how can I stop at the last media and control what is displayed ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

One way to do it:

1) Create a new media clip with your 'Thank You' message and add it to the project, without making a button for it.

2) Set the end action of the 'last media' to "Link" and set the destination to be the new 'Thank You' media clip.

3) Set the end action of the 'Thank You' clip to Link, and choose the Thank You clip as the destination, effectively setting up a loop.

Another way would be to create an empty menu with 'Thank You' as the menu background, and set it to loop. In this case, the end action of your 'last media' would be set to link to the empty menu.
