I did a search to find a similar topic but some of the responses are confusing, so i will list certain requirements and hopefully you will be able to help me. Thank you in advance.
I need to know what software i will need to create dvd menus
1) i want to use Adobe Photoshop, so the software must be compatible with Photoshop
2) i am a graphics student, so i am more interested in creating menus that are visually appealing (the design of the menu) rather than creating menus with loads of advanced features (such as motion, sound etc.)
3) When designing these menus i would like to work with a lot of freedom, unlike TMPGEnc where you are restricted to the templates
If more info is needed please reply
THANK YOU

Well, most authoring apps support menus (that's really one of the man tasks for authoring). DVD-Lab is one of the most flexible. You have 100% freedom to do whatever you want with a menu, within the DVD specs. Of course, freedom comes with a price - DVD-Lab takes some more getting used to than TDA, and you may even have to read the manual!

If you want freedom in design you need only these tools :
Avi2mpeg2
Virtualdub
Besweet (plus addon files)
Avisynth (plus addon files)
Ifoedit
Vobedit
The Gimp (plus addon scripts)
Dvdauthorgui
Pgcedit
From here there is nothing you cannot do in dvd authoring
Best yet - there all freeware
For things such as motion logo's and more
Blender
Wink
Extra's
Autoit - automate tasks you do all the time
Ah ... I feel the need for another guide coming on .... -
thanks for the all the replies
DVD Architect looks amazing, mainly because of the example screenshot, but $800 is too pricey
Bjs you have provided a good selection and because they are all freeware and can try them out instantly, thanks. You mentioned Autoit, what is that and are there any tutorials for the list of software u have provided
DVDLab looks ok but the example design given in the screenshot does not look so good, will DVDlab let me improve on that
is there anyplace where i can see screenshots or videos or diagrams of these programs in action
THANK YOU
any more suggestions or comments would be appreciated -
Adobe Encore, Ulead DVD Workshop, Sonic DVDit! ... all work with PSD to some degree.

thanks for the quick reply lordsmurf
adobe encore looks good, have you used it before, is it similar to using photoshop because if it is then then this would be a very good tool for myself
