Whats the best DVD Authoring software for me please!!

[stefanj]

I need to create a DVD that can show dozens of screens of information for my work colleagues.

I don't want a slideshow, as the person viewing needs some basic navigation- in other words, the screens will actually be menus with buttons enabling jumps to other screens.

The screens will contain mainly text and each jpg menu file will be automatically produced by adding the text from a database.
I've created some small sample XML project files for DVDStyler, but navigation is limited

Can anyone suggest a suitable Windows application.

I'm willing to give Linux a try if the right solution can be found!

Thanks in anticipation

I've done this in DVDWS2
- Guide @ http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/showthread.php/author-ulead-dvd-1506.html
- Buy @ http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/311318-REG/Corel_Ulead_A25420111_DVD_Workshop_2....3167/KBID/4166 (only $25)

Looks great.

I've had a quick look at Ulead DVDWS2 details, but I can't find any indication that it will do what I want, unless of course I've missed it!

You're probably familiar with DVDStyler and know that you can create an XML project file, containing all the menus etc. that you want to include on your DVD.

DVDStyler reads this XML project file and then creates another XML file that DVDAuthor uses to create the DVD.

I'm looking for something similar that offers better navigation features. There could be dozens (maybe hundreds) of menus involved- all acting as information screens to the person viewing.

Thanks for your help.

You've simply missed it. The task you want requires many menus.
