Using DVD Builder 7 (with Roxio Easy Media Creator 7), I'm trying to put on a 16-minute audio track that can play as background music (until someone selects a video clip) but it only plays 30 seconds.

The Theme -> Advanced -> Adjust Duration slider won't let it go higher than 30 seconds (why not? no technical reason, seems arbitrary).  Any way round this (registry hack, patch, anything)?  Nero plays the full track no problem as background, but I can't resize the buttons in Nero, so using Roxio instead.  (Long story).

Would any of the newer packages be more flexible?

Also want to create a "play all" button to play all the tracks sequentially (separate to, and as well as being able to play individual tracks that stop at the end).  The competition's support told me not to be stupid when I asked for it, but I'm hoping Roxio will maybe have a way to do it?

TIA  :)

30 seconds is the maximum that you can set.  Newer versions allow more time.
