If you video was about different styles of music and you used a short clip as an example, it's legal. However, if it's the background theme music, that's different. It sounds like you want it for background. I'd say the only way is to get permission. There is one caveat though: if you aren't going to profit from the video in any way, you probably can get away with it. Even if they do object, you can just say "Oh, OK. Sorry" and remove the video. However, to do that you have to get around the software DRM checks. I'd suggest getting the music ripped by someone and turned into a plain old .wav file. P.S. You're using Vista, aren't you?

Choose music that that the copyright has expired, or have your agent notify the music company.
