What makes up a menu?


    A menu consists of a background, buttons, and subpictures, which you use to change the appearance of a button when you select or activate it with the remote control or mouse.

    A menu can include text, still images, motion footage, and audio. Depending upon its composition, a menu is considered either a still menu or a motion menu:

    Still menu

    A menu composed of static images. It contains no moving footage or audio.

    Motion menu

    A menu that includes moving footage or audio. A video can play in the background of the menu. A button can include a thumbnail image of the video to which it is linked. You can even include music, sounds, or narration while a menu is displayed.
