220 minute runtime in DVD Studio Pro...how do I do this?

I have a DVDSP question. I'll try and explain carefully. I have a DVD for a client with 3 buttons in the menu.

One button is linked to a 40 minute video which I'll call "VIDEO A."

The next button is linked to a series of videos totaling 70 minutes, "VIDEO B."

The 3rd button plays Videos A and B on a continuous loop.

The only way I know of doing this is creating a separate track for each button in the Graphical layout. The first track contains Video A, the 2nd track contains Video B, and the 3rd track contains both Video A and Video B.

That amounts to 220 minutes of runtime. The maximum runtime option in Compressor is 150 minutes. Movies often run well over this, especially with all the additional content. How do I make this happen? I'm running out of time, so quick responses would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

A & B live in separate tracks. Just two, not 3.

You then create a "Story" that plays track 1, then track 2. That is your third option, and it is triggered by button 3.

Thanks for the reply. Can you please explain it in a little more detail? I see how to create a Story in the graphical view, but how do I add tracks to it?
Thanks,
Andrew
