How would I go about using a dv video clip as a background for a menu in DVD Studio Pro?

Import the video clip into your assets in DVD Studio Pro. Then drag it from the assets list onto the menu background - a drop palette should show up, from which you should select "Set Background". That's all.

DVD Studio Pro will convert (if necessary) your input video to the MPEG-2. For best control over the result, you may want to use Compressor (or a similar tool) to convert your clip to MPEG-2 before importing the asset into DVD Studio.
