DVD Menues

[ralck]

HiGuys,

I tried searching the forums, but the new layout is horrible (and incredibly slow) so I gave up.So instead of seeing if this question has already been asked, I think I’m just going to ask it…

WhatdoyouguysusetomakeDVDmenus?I’mlookingforaprogram,preferablyfreeorcheap,thatgivesmetheabilitytomakeDVDmenuswithmyownbackgroundsandlayoutstylesandsuch.I’vegotmyvideoexportedtoMPEG-2soIdon’tneedaprogramtoconvertit.Thingsliketheabilitytomakemovingmenuswouldbecool,butnotabsolutelynecessary. The ability to set up my own DVD chapters and also have the ability to set up something like an “extras” page (so I don’t just have the main video on the disc, but in fact several other videos) is a feature I really want.

Also,I’mnotsureifthisan application specific, but I’d like it to be able to export to a DVD iso so I can make an iso and test with that instead of wasting DVD’s.

I’mnotreallysurewhatgoesonwithDVDmenuprogramssoImayhaveleftoutsomekeypoints.Feelfreetoaskforanymoreinformation!Thanks!

Wow. The page ended on the right of my screen, but the text keeps going for another screen and a half’s worth past the end. Anyways.

I just got Sony DVD Architect Studio 4.5. It can do everything you have listed, plus more. Grab a 30 day unlimited demo here

Try it out, it’s only $40 to buy, and is awesome for the price.

Sorry about the formatting… I didn’t know I was supposed to set that up myself!

Thanksfortheheadsuponthatprogram!ItlookslikethekindofthingIwaslookingfor,andthat’sapriceIcanswallow!

Thanksagain!

No problem. The formatting is probably a problem with the forum – you’re not supposed to set it up!

I use Pinnacle 10 for editing my videos. Its DVD menu editor is powerful, yet it is not very pleasant to use. I don’t recommend it.

Definitely try before you buy. Just about everything has a 30 day trial that you can download.

I will ask you, how do you perform an ISO test?

“I just got Sony DVD Architect Studio 4.5. It can do everything you have listed, plus more.”

I’ll second that statement. I really like DVD Architect for making a DVD.
