hello,
The DVD's normally would buy from the store how do i make them professional DVD's on my own system using like TMPGEnc to convert them from AVI and i believe the store DVD's are copyright? Is there any guides to make them professional like that?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

If you want same copy protection as on commercial dvds you can burn them yourself. If you want good looking menus it's just lots of work, see for example https://forum.videohelp.com/topic331892.html?highlight=professional%20dvd

I personally use GuiForDVDAuthor.
Whatever you choose, you will have to spend some time reading the documentation. -
Begin with a simple, foolproof authoring tool like TMPGEnc DVD Author then work your way up to more complex tools after you have gained more experience. Eventually, you will be able to make "professional looking" DVD's but this is not the same thing as a commercial disc.

As has been pointed out in many posts before, professional looking DVDs can't be created from guides or because you have a particular piece of software. Professional looking DVDs come form planning, preparation of assets, have a good eye for design, being able to use still image software, editing and/or effects software, and understanding how to make the navigation feel right. The authoring software is only used to glue everything together at the end. It is everything you do before you author that makes a DVD look professional.

OK. how can i do all of that so it can be a commercial DVD on my system?

There isn't any home authoring software you can use to make a commercial DVD. For a start they are pressed on giant machines and not burnt in a PC drive. The plants which press them require digital masters which are made to exacting standards. You would need about $50,000 worth of software and several years programing experience to be able to meet those standards. It is far cheaper/easier to hire a professional authoring house to do the work for you.

You use them in an authoring program, as those linked.
You keep using the words "professional" and "commercial".
I don't know what you mean by that.
Just what do you intend to do with your discs?
For what it's worth, I think my discs are professional in that they work and aren't too ugly on the screen. But they're obviously not commercial because they don't have a lot of crap to click through like most "commercial" discs force you to before they let you see the damn feature. -

There is nothing you can buy which will make professional looking DVDs instantly. You need to begin with a simple but foolproof authoring tool, practice a lot, get things looking as good as you possibly can, then move on to a more elaborate authoring tool. After about three years you will be able to author discs with fancy interactive menus which look like they've been bought from a shop. Learn to walk before you can run. I strongly recommend TMPGEnc DVD Author as you are using their MPEG encoder already. It is foolproof, easy to learn and (with a bit of practice) can make some pretty decent looking menus. It has some limitations but by the time you have learnt what they are you will be ready to move on to a more elaborate authoring tool.

Hi, I just bought a pair of running shoes at K-Mart and I'm going to compete in the 100 meter race at the 2008 Olympics. Should I thank everyone before they give me the 1st place trophy or wait until they hand it to me? I just want to be a "professional" winner.
Capice? -

A whole page of links to articles about how to do it.
I don't use TMPGEnc myself, but plenty do so if you have any problems just ask and someone will help. -
