Adding video to a Menu

Can anyone help me with Encore please. I have Encore 1.5. I want to know how to have video files playing in the background of the menu along with a background picture file?

I mean i have created buttons, and done everythin in photoshop and got it all ready in Encore and i want to add a video i have made of some short clips of the film. How do i add this to the menu so it plays along side the menu?

I would also like to add sound. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

not sure if you know what i mean, so i did this sketch as an example

Ok, i found out how to add it now but it is the entire background. How do i make it smaller?

like in the picture above

i dont understand what you mean, i mean i added a video to the menu but it takes up the entire background i created on Photoshop. I want it to be just inside a small box like the picture i done ^.

What u mean by large button and motion menu?

Your probably right. i just find it not as complex and i like how you can easly make easter eggs

Bring the project into photoshop and try shrinking the background. Another option I do is to simply create another image box and link it to a video. It can get a little flustering, but it always seems to work right in the end.

I am very surprised that Encore wouldn't have a drop zone option...where you would just make a shape and drag a video into it. That comes in programs as simple as iDVD.
