Adding Easter Eggs

I use Pinnacle Ver.9 Plus and I've heard that you can use easter eggs. Does anyone know how to make them?

Bunit1212 means hidden features on his created DVD, not the software. I normally create "hidden features" by importing turning a part of the background and turning it onto a button. That way, it looks like part of the backgroun, but you can actually click on it to reveal a hidden video.

I don't understand when you say importing the background and turning.

The only way you can activate an event on a DVD is by clicking on a button on a menu. To activate a "hidden" event, I "camouflage" a button by importing an image that's just a piece of the menu background (e.g cut out an object in your image editor). I then place this image in the exact same position as it's place in the menu image - so that it looks like it's not a button at all.

I understand now but when you do that the dvd reads that as a menu and the video plays continously

I want to know to make hidden features during the movie while its playing

I beleive this is referred to as a "white rabbit" after the Matrix DVD.

I have searched extensively on the Pinnacle boards, but can't find anything. Sorry.
