I've got a DVD I'm building of a high school graduation I filmed in wide screen and footage filmed by students for a highlights reel that was all in full screen. So far I put the WS on one VTS and the FS on another an created a menu for each. Now I need to know if I can have link on each menu to go back to the other menu. Since they are on a different VTS I see no obvious option to do what I want so I need to know if there is a trick or something else.

Setup a VMG menu structure and then in the Navigation view, use a Bridge to allow a connection through the VMG menu to the different VTS's. I have done this a number of times with DVD Lab Pro. It's a great tool. Look throught the online manual for details on using a VMG menu structure and a bridge.

I actually didn't even need bridges. I was able to a VMG menu for the main segment and have a link on there to a separate menu for the VTS. It turned out very well.
