Wedding DVD - Menu Background

[pmcollins]

Hi All !!

I have a taping of my wedding on VHS that I am planning to transfer onto DVD.

I currently use ULEAD Videostudio 7 to capture, author and produce my DVD's but have recently got WinDVD Creator which can create motion menus.

What I am looking for is a video background to use when creating a menu for the DVD.

Does anyone have any ideas where you can get video backgounds for menus ?

I'd also suggest a slowed down video of, let's say, the bride and groom dance, with a little blurring effect to boot...
Perhaps even black and white...

Good luck!!

Thanks for that pijetro !

Im only planning on doing this once so dont really want to pay out money for a background that will never get used again.

I really like your idea though of using the bridal dance as a background, I may give that a try.

Just a question though, was wondering if anyone knew if theres anywhere to get these type of backgrounds for free ??

This place sells motion menu backgrounds. I saw they have a weddings package for $25.

If you want just motion loops, sort of like waves of colors, you can find some free on Mainconcept encoder's web site. They call them textured loops:

There's also this place. I don't know anything about them:

Edit your movie to get just the clip you want for background.
Set as background in dvdlab.
Add your links, etc.
Render motion menu.
Should work...
