tendtend, VCDEasy does not create menus, only Chapters, the best currently available program would be TSCV, it's not easy to use for beginners, but once you get the hang of it, it's the best one around.

Sefi can you compare the TSCV menu generator with Ulead factory? except the fact that TSCV is free.
I am asking for your opinion.

ULead is easier to use, but you are forced to use their templates and you can't create your own. Your best bet is to use TSCV and learn the XML file structure (which really isn't that hard/bad) to make your own.

You can d/load a trail ver of Ulead (http://www.ulead.com) to compare.

mm, just like Vejita-sama, the major diffrence is money, Ulead is not free, sure it's easy, but it's not as flexiable as TSCV!
I did say TSCV is not easy to start with, but once you get the hang of it, you'll find it gives you alot more.

Always: listen to Sefy

TSCV is the best i have tried. With outher proggs i have got chapter skipping problems and so on but nothing with TSCV. Its not that hard to use. it may look as a lot of work when you start the proggie for the first time, but you only have to use a third of the stuff.
