[Brooks Kohler] “Don, I’m using a Mybook, and it is FAT32 as far as I can tell. I noticed that is clocking out at 3.99GB.”
Fat32 has a4gb filesize limit.
Backup your hard drive before converting it (in case something goes wrong).
web search on Fat32 to NTFS

CTL+ALT+Left/Right arrow might be what you are looking for.

[Noah Kadner] “Few, if any U.S. DVD players will play a PAL disc. And even if they do, very very few U.S. TVs will display PAL. If you want a disc to play in the U.S. it needs to be authored as NTSC 29.97, 720×480 and at least Region 1 enabled.”
If the NTSC DVD Player plays the PAL DVD, and converts it to NTSC output, then it really doesn’t matter if the TV will play PAL.
Also, I’d invite you to create a PAL DVD, and bring it to your local electronics store with DVD Players on display. Ask if you can try your PAL DVD in them — you might be surprised that there actually are players that will do the conversion. Especially the “cheap” brands as I stated earlier (and as Michael also confirmed).
Heck, I have 7 DVD players in the house, and 5 of them will play PAL Formatted DVD’s. The 5 are: 2 from Apex, a LiteOn, and portable no-name brand and a memorex. The two DVD Players that will not are a Sony and a JVC.

It used to be very few did that. But lately, I think more U.S. DVD Players will play PAL (and convert to NTSC output). Especially the “cheap” brands, or even the little “travel” DVD Players…
But for a broad distribution, I’d say you are safer to do a conversion and create a true NTSC DVD from your PAL DVD…

Is the ISO a completed DVD? Are you just trying to add a video to the end of the main timeline (without adding another menu button for the new video)?
-
Can you make a menu with buttons that point to looping timelines (your looping backgrounds become a looping timeline instead of a looping menu).

This is certainly possible, but how it is accomplished will depend on the authoring package you are using.

What settings are you using for your encoding?
Also, what Authoring program are you using?

Are you using the NEXT button to try and skip to the chapter-end? If so, that will bypass your end-action.

[Frederico Roldao] “but it has few menu templates and it’s slow.”
The full version (i.e. not the TRIAL) has alot of menu templates — and they can be customized as well.
The “slowness” might be due to the default values for motion menus and motion thumbnails, as well as the default menu transitions that are turned on for alot of the templates.
I would recommend turning off the motion menu and menu transitions to see if that helps speed things up. Of course, encoding the video for your dvd also takes time (if you are not using DVD compliant source material).
There are some free solutions available — but they will require more planning and authoring knowledge. They would also require an encoder (if you don’t have dvd-compliant source).
