That appears to be an Encore preview problem. Burn a DVD RW and test it in a DVD player – navigating buttons should not interrupt the audio, until you activate a button and the player follows the link.

What you want to do is set the fill opacity of the subpicture layer to zero, so that only the stroke is displayed for the layer.
Not sure I fully understand your menu button highlighting scheme – are you looking for a stroke around the video thumbnail and a circle (of a different color) also with a stroke? If so, you’ll need two subpicture layers, one for the outlines and the other for the solid (and use (=1) and (=2) prefixes for the different subpicture layers).

This requires DVD scripting, which is not possible to do with Encore.

Encore CS3 & CS4 do not support multi-angle video.

[Bill Whirity] “Does cropping occur?”
Not on my Sony Bravia (at least not that I can see). I have heard that this may not be universally true for HD monitors, so if you want to be absolutely sure, you’ll continue to use the safe area for menus, especially title safe for buttons.

Can you post a screenshot?

Encore’s video thumbnail layers are for buttons only.
If you want a small video frame to not be a button, you’ll need to create the video file in Premiere or After Effects, import this video into Encore and make it the video background of your menu.

[Dennis Liljedahl] “The only solution would be to make a background video with the smaller videos playing in it, right?”
Right.

NTSC widescreen menus are 720×480 with a pixel aspect ratio of 1.2, and PAL widescreen menus are 720×576 with a pixel aspect ratio of 1.422.
Photoshop CS(1) and later have a preset for this, with guides for action/title safe.
