Creating interactive video (inc. slideshows)

[rguich]

Not sure where to start, but my situation is that I want to create an interactive video (like a dvd/blu-ray) consisting of a main menu where various videos and photo slideshows (with music) can be played (of our son, who passed away after 40 weeks pregnancy). I would like to have a copy on blu-ray (or maybe I'm also fine with DVD) and usb stick, to play on various devices (already created a nice DVD cover).

I'm not sure if it's realistically, since I'm pretty much a noob in video editing, but I hope I can do this myself. What software would be a good choice in my case? And/Or what's a good guide to read?

I gathered some names in old topics from an other forum:

Adobe Encore DVD
Adobe Photoshop Album
Adobe Première
Apple iDVD
DVD photo slide professional
DVD Slide Show Maker
Magix Foto op DVD/CD
magix photo2DVD
Magix VideodeLuxe
Memoriesondisk
MemoriesOnTV
Nero
Photo DVD slidehow
Photo2DVD
Photo2VCD
Photostory 3
PhotoVCD Lite
PictureonDVD
Pinnacle Studio
Proshow (Gold)
proshow gold
proshow Producer
TMPeg DVD creator
TMPGEncDVDAuthor
Ulead Picture DVD
VirtualDub
Windows Moviemaker
Wings Platinum

A lot of them probably don't exist anymore (my assumption), but maybe there are some good options there too...?


EDIT:
Still a lot of reading and researching to do, but deep diving on this forum these are some programs that seem to get suggested:
AVStoDVD / AVS2DVD
DVDStyler (+ DVDtoBD Express)
TMPGenc Authoring Works 6
Blu-Disc Studio Lite
