Link from Intro to first menu

OK all works as should.
Intro leads into looping main menu. Problem is the player pauses for a few frames when going from the intro to the menu and also when the menu Background loops. Maybe I'm expecting too much, I realise the players head has to move but I though there was enough buffer int the player for it to cope or is there some magic formual to getting this to work smoothly?
Bob,

The delay is normal. Different players will have differing amounts of delay. Just something you have to work with.

That's something I also wish could be easily accomplished, as it looks so nice in the DVDA preview.

Often times, I make the delay look more "planned" by doing a fade-to-black on the intro media, even though I'd prefer complete continuity between the two.

Ah, well, 'tis not a perfect world...

Thanks guys,
you're confirming what I'd suspected. I think if you keep the looping bit VERY short you seem to be able to get away with it or else have it fade to black behine statis elements as said hides it.
