You could set the motion menu Duration property to 1 minute, which would cause the video to hold the last frame when it’s finished playing but that probably isn’t what you’re looking for.
If you want the video to loop for the duration of the audio, you must set that up in Premiere or you NLE: import the audio, then drag your video clip in repeatedly, then trim it if necessary. Export a new video file, with or without the audio, and use that as your menu background.

Are you running the latest update of Encore CS4?

Is the music duration longer than the video duration? What’s the motion menu duration? (you can find this in Menu properties).

Look at your button numbers (select each button, then look at Button properties), and then look at your menu default button (select the menu, then look at Menu properties).
Does your Default Button match the button you want highlighted?
If not, either renumber your buttons (in Button properties), or reset your default button (in Menu properties).

Are your MPEG files muxed with audio? Encore will re-transcode those trying to get at the audio.
If so, export elementary (unmuxed) streams from Premiere, MPEG-2 for video, and uncompressed, 16 bit 48 kHz WAV for audio.
-
How are your video files encoded? Which codec, frame size, frame rate, etc.
And what is the total duration of all your video?
-
No, Encore supports only one project open at a time, and it’s not possible to import one project into another.

Sorry Ted…I have no advice I can offer on that particular question since I have no experience with either card.
Hopefully, someone else can jump in here…

Sorry, but no – there’s no way to export subtitles from Encore prior to CS4 – that was a new feature added to CS4.
I do think you’re better off doing the extra work to make it in Encore CS4. Otherwise, you could probably keep going with it in Encore 2.0, and reserve CS4 for your new work.

Eight subtitle tracks…I have a very strong feeling that’s where the trouble lies.
I’d guess that if you did a SaveAs to create a duplicate of the project, then deleted all the subtitle tracks that this would open fine in CS4. And there may or may not be a number of subtitle tracks that come over from Encore 2.0 without error, but I don’t know what that number would be or if it is even greater than one.
If you did the subtitles in a script editor, you could try importing them into a CS4 project.
But unless you want to do a lot (and I mean a lot) of trouble-shooting to get to the root of the problem, I’d suggest you not bring that type of project forward from Encore 2.0 to CS4.
