Want to play a short flick before menu shows... help!!

I've got a cool little 10 second animation I want to play before the menu objects show up. Is there a way to do this?

I tried adding another page, but it puts the ugly arrow on the screen. If I erase the arrow, you can't get to the next page. I want it to automatically jump. Same problems when I add a sub menu.

Has anybody encountered this? Is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance.

Matt.

What you want to do is the following; go to FILE--->PROPERTIES
there you will find "introduction media" just insert the Video and Audio and when
you burn your DVD it will automatically play this first. This "introduction media"
is for people who want to include information such as copywrite info, company logo
ie. Universal Pictures Presents......

Hopr this is what you are looking for!

Thanks man, that did the trick.

The only issue is that you can't see the animation in the preview mode.

Other than that, it worked perfectly.

Yes you can actually. Go to preview, press stop, then play.

Cheers.

Thanks Jason. I actually returned to correct myself. I found that the "preview" button is a drop down and if you choose "preview all", it'll show you the whole deal.
