How to adjust intro video size in menu?

Hi to all.

I am using VS 12 and am creating a chapter menu for a project that will be burned on a DVD. First question: Is there a way to extend the motion menu past 30 seconds? Second is that I have a video clip that I want to use as the background. Unfortunately, I cannot adjust the size, and it takes up the entire screen. Any way to adjust this. I would also be happy to just allow VS to play the beginning part of my mpg file that it does automatically with the motion menu. This is not the background video that I spoke about. The only problem with this last option is that I do not know how to adjust where the motion menu starts to play the clip from. Any advice on how to do what I want to do. I apologize if this is not clear.

Thanks for your help in advance.

No, I don't think so. I believe that 30 secs is the upper limit allowable on the feature.

Second is that I have a video clip that I want to use as the background. Unfortunately, I cannot adjust the size, and it takes up the entire screen. Any way to adjust this.

Yes. Place a color block on the main video track then place the video on an overlay track. Videos on the overlay track can be re-sized.
