Link from movie - NOT menu

Link from movie - NOT menu

Hey everyone:

I was watching a DVD the other day. It is a snowboarding DVD made by DC Shoe Co.
I did a little research on the DVD and found out some interesting things. Within
the main movie (all snowboarding, about 20 minutes long), there are 7 or 8
hidden bonus features. To access these features you simply have to hit the ENTER
button on the remote when a specific scene comes on the screen. For example, an
introduction of one of the riders in the video comes on screen and lasts for
about 5 seconds. For the duration of that one clip (about 5 seconds) you can hit
the ENTER button on the remote and it links you to a hidden feature on the DVD.
There is no other way to access this feature.

Now, I cannot figure out how this was done. Ive been using Encore for a little
while now and im fairly good at it, as it is pretty straightforward. Linking
buttons on a menu is no problem. I just cant, for the life of me, figure out how
to place a link in the actual video.

ANY help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

John,

I think you have "broken the code." Motion Menu with hidden Buttons.

Now, with other programs, it might be possible to do similar with other Assets,
but in Encore, that is how I'd do it.

John,

that makes perfect sense, but after i create a motion menu, how would i
incorporate that into the flow of the actual video, without any jumps or losing
any quality?
