If you're dragging it onto the menu workspace, that adds it as a media item. To add it as the menu background, right-click the menu, choose Set Background Media, and browse to your background video.

Alternatively, drag the background video onto the menu using the right mouse button, drop it there, and choose Set Background Video.

Dude! That was toooo easy!
I knew there had to be a way to do it.... You know what they say...

"Where there's a will... there's a lawyer!"

Thank you so much. This will make my DVDs look a great deal better. You have made a whole bunch of people happy!

By the way... would you also know how to make these same jumpbacks work on a website?
I sure would like to have one on my homepage when it opens up. Any answers on this one?
again, Thanks,
John

I suppose that depends on how you want to use them.

As a background? I imagine you'd have to build your site in Flash and incorporate the video into the background there. Can't think of a reasonable way to make a video as the background in an HTML-based website. Anyhow, I'd personally find a moving background on a site to be distracting.

If you just mean as a video within the site, you can use the OBJECT or EMBED tag. Though, you'd want to look through Digital Juice's terms -- just sticking the jump back out there as-is for people to download is probably a no-no. I'm only vaguely familiar with the company, so I'm not sure what they allow and what they don't.

I think an animated .gif could do this, it would be worth a try. Set the src width and height at 100%, and be prepared to live with stretching on different displays.

If you have an old copy of Premiere laying around, it will render looping animated .gif sequences from .avi

I am using WebStudio 4.0 as my web building program. If you're not familiar with it, it is easy enough that I even can make good websites with it.
It has an insert tab that allows me to pull various types of files onto the page I am building at the time, so I reasone3d that the jumpback could indeed be one of those things.
When I 'preview' the page it plays fine, buit when it is downloaded and I go to the site it doesn't show up. ???
I know there is an answer to this. It will be something simple like the first question in this message and someone out there knows...
Thanks for your input.
