Hi Blu-Ray burners!
I am thinking of buying a Blu-Ray writer, to cut down on my disc count of DVDs (by putting a few movies on one Disc).
What I am interested to know, is if there is any software that helps build Menus for Blu-Rays.. just simple ones, I want a Main Menu, in which you can select the film, and then chapters for each film.
I would also like to make a basic Pop-Up menu that has the options of going back to the main menu, and chapter selections.
Is there anything out there like that yet? Something kind of like Adobe Encore, but for Blu-Ray?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I know you said you want menus. But if a file name list will do, all you need is imgburn. This assumes the player you choose will play files from BDR root. The next step to menus requires at least AVCHD disc authoring within a BDMV file structure.

I checked out that MultiAVCD, and tested it on a DVD in AVCHD format, before I move onto BD-R discs (expensive here), and the main menu showed up ok, but when you press down to go to another option, it goes black, then comes back to the option..
also the videos didn't play in the correct aspect ratio? -
MultiAvchd should be able to build a blu-ray\AVCH that with no problem. Art you letting MultiAVCHD convert the video as well as the audio? If so could you post the mediainfo for the converted file? Are you choosing BD or AVCHD output?

The file isn't blu-ray compatible since it's 1920x816 and it has to be 1920x1080 to play right,let multiavchd transcode,you can run the file through mkvmerge to make it mkv and play the file through a usb or data disc,this way doesnt need re-encoding or authoring but you won't get a menu,just a file list or icon for the file.
Check your manual to find if your player will play mkv through usb or data discs.I think,therefore i am a hamster. -
multiAVCHD works fine for most players, but for there are a small number of players that cannot play what it produces. I have a Momitsu region free player and it is such a player. Unfortunately you may have to try various combinations of output settings until you get something that works or you may simply not be able to produce BD output that works correctly on your player with it. I had basically the same problem as you. Most of what I made with multiAVCHD did not nothing on my player, but the best I ever got was having the main menu come up but then nothing on it worked.

Encore works fantastic for everything! ......Except authoring Blu-Ray. You would not believe how such a prestigious company like Adobe could tarnish their reputation with that pos they call Adobe Encore, when it comes to Blu-Ray. Bugs, bugs, bugs and more bugs.
multiAVCHD seems to be the best choice. I also had luck with Nero Vision, however the menu creation tools are quite limited. -

I have a colleague who produced some very good BD titles for replication with x.264 to encode and this set of software from DVDLogic:
http://www.dvd-logic.com/bdauthor/
Takes a bit of a learning curve but his investment was something like $500
Pop - up menus, Multi- audio and subtitles....even In and Out Effects on the menus. He even had a interactive map which changes has the film progresses. -
