Does somebody got a pack of good Menu Background Screens?

[Gendo Ikari]

Hi, I just wanted to ask, if somebody got a pack with some good DVD Menu Background Pictures.
Because, I could need some more. (by the way... I installed a new Programm Version, and now it looks like, some of the old Pictures are gone so, if somebody could post them too...)

PS: Am I`m the only Person, who got Problems with this "Machine Reg." Thingy?

[ChrissyBoy]

I shall put some more up on the site.

Are you ok now with the Reg?

[Gendo Ikari]

Yes, i got it now working.
But I think, you shoud Tune the Reg. System a bit more...
Otherwise, its to easy to use both free Regs. because of PC Problems or Software Re-Installations. (Because of an Version Failure, and the Changing Machine Code, Im using already the 2. Machine Reg.)

[ChrissyBoy]

Yes a few teething issues You have be reset to 3 codes

[Gendo Ikari]

Thanks!
So I am save, if my PC thinks its time to completly Crash again *g*

And in a few Hours, I let the Programm make over 100 Small Movie DVD Readable... thank god, that I dont have to make an Menu for that DVD, or an VTS Selection for each Song

Hi, Gendo!

It is a well-known factoid that Dutchies, like Scots, are particularly mean, or let's call it 'economic': they rather get things for free than paying for them.

So this is what I did: I went through the (mostly useless) Authoring progs I have on my pc. You know, the ones that came with DVD/CD burners, graphics and capture cards. And before I setlled on TMpg DVD Author, I downloaded and installed trial versions of some more. Some of the guys makin' them are mean, too, in another way: they zip al the useful piccies together and call the result something 'un-graphic'. But I did find some neat things in ArcSoft ShowBiz, DVD-Lab, Ulead VStudio, NeroVision (though the latter are poor like the program itself.)

And then, of course, there are the Newsgroups. I give you my favourites:
alt.binaries.photos.original
alt.binaries.pictures.artpics
alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art
alt.binaries.pictures.gardens
alt.binaries.pictures.misc
alt.binaries.pictures.nature
alt.binaries.pictures.scenic

You take your pick and use IrfanView to (batch) resize them (720x576) making sure you uncheck 'Keep Aspect Ratio' and turning the DPI into 72. (I still don't know if and, if so, why that is necessary.)

By the way, I have discovered that there is far more to TDA's Menu department than meets the eye. I am constantly getting better at it. The Help is minimal.
