Default Adding short advert to existing DVD Folder??

I've got a problem:

I've got my DVD Folder that I made in Encore, it's all there, working fine, motion menu's, subtitles, multiple audio tracks, all good.

But now I want to add a short advert in before the main movie plays, there's no space worries, it's 3.7GB at the moment and the ad' is 40 seconds.

However, I deleted the encore project , and most of the avi files that I used to make it , (I know this was stupid, but I thought it was finished forever, and I needed space for new footage), Fortunately I have the Original source files, and my Premiere projects, so I can re-export everything, and make a whole new Encore project,

But, I am low on space, and time, so my question is:

Is there any way I can just re-author the DVD from the DVD-Folder, retaining all menu functions, the only difference being the advert is inserted before the main Movie?

Can I for instance find the VOB file that is the main movie (I still have that as an AVI), add the advert to the front, encode, and drop in to the folder using the original file name?

Or am I dreaming? :(

Hope someone can help, sorry this is so long.
