Making links in DVD lab pro

Time
I'm currently trying to make a DVD menu for my project in DVD lab pro. I've made the names for my buttons (forgive me if I'm using the wrong terms, I'm not real familiar with making DVD menus), but I can't figure out how to connect what I want to them.

For the "credits" button, I want it to link to a jpeg that I made with my thank you list, edit info, etc. I've imported the jpeg into the images assets area. But I'm stuck there.

I'm also trying to figure out how to make the "options" link to the audio options. I have a 5.1 and 2.0 dolby mix, both loaded into the movie menu.

And finally, I added a VTS (VTS 2) somehow, and I don't want it. How do I get rid of this.

I've borrowed my cousin's laptop to use his DVD lab pro, and he is out of town, or I would just ask him.

I'm also wanting to add one of those nifty fanedit "warning" logos at the beginning of the movie. I can't remember which fanedit I saw one of those on, but I would like to borrow it or make my own if need be. Where/how do I insert something like that?

If I can figure out how to make a 5.1 mix of it real soon, I'll change it. Otherwise, I'll put it on the second cut and probably make a 2.0 version of the first cut. Not sure sure that I'll use the Black Lab cover though. I thinking more of making the end of the LP song "crash" and then fading it into a big orchestral outro. I need to tear that end apart and see if I can get the Linkin Puke song eliminated or at least minimized.

Here is a better shot of the back.

Well, you may want to wait until I make my second cut then. I made this cut to eliminate or at least minimize the MAJORLY annoying parts that could be done so relatively easily. This is my first edit, and I didn't really want to get involved in rebuilding the soundtrack on this to make some of the cuts (if only this movie had the same soundtrack as No Country for Old Men ). I plan on majorly trimming or eliminating that scene (parents/masturbating), the car lot scene and a few others in my next cut. They were just too jumbled to trim, and had some important plot points in them (though I think I can eliminate the car lot scene, and just leave the purchase to your imagination). It's hard enough as it stands to make cuts without losing plot details, due to all the tiny cuts that Bay has made in the film. That and the audio mix made me leave in more than a couple scenes that I would have otherwise cut.

I made this first cut for the viewer that enjoyed the movie overall, but thought it could be a little tighter, and could lose some of the over the top moments. I also wanted to make it so that I wasn't sacrificing the continuity, sound mix, story or making a hard cut for the sake of eliminating a minor annoyance. I was originally only planning on one cut, but I was so torn on various aspects of the movie that I decided to make three (see the rest of this thread for details on the others).

Thanks for the compliments on the cover. I've become pretty handy with Photoshop, and it's good to actually be able to use it for something other than pasting my friends heads on half-naked clown bodies.

Just a wee bit closer to the end. I'll contact those who requested copies at that time.

Idea, & Help: looking for... HBO In Space?!

HBO would do well to take this idea up on their own. I think that the nostalgia aspect alone would draw people into watching HBO shows if they had more old school bumpers in their programming. I doubt they realize that people actually give a crap about their old promos though.

In the meantime, I'm still searching all my old tapes to find a good copy of that HBO promo.
