Where can i get backgrounds for my dvd menu

[steveloveday]

Hi
I have just been messing around with creating a kids dvd from a file i had using dvdlab.
The thing is on the opening menu i wanted a decent backrground for the film so i was thinking is there anywhere i can get a background like the ones that are on dvd's.
The film is a bear in the big blue house so i wanted one that looked genuine like on a real dvd.
At the moment i have been using wallpaper pictures but they don't look the same.
Any advise would be great
P.s is it posible to download templates for dvdlab if so where?
cheers

If you are after stills, google's image search is a good starting place. I usually make my own stuff using images or clips and a mixture of photoshop, after effects and vegas.

another thing you can do with DVD-Lab...in the "preview" of your movie, you can take any frame, drag it (while holding the SHIFT key) to your menu, and it will set it as a background.

I do this will a lot of movies that I capture off TV (use the title of the movie as the background for the main menu), then add your links wherever there might be space. You can pretty much make the link color to match the rest of the text (if any) on the picture, or use your own colors.

You can also use almost the same method to create a motion menu.
