dvd maestro for beginners???

[Sh0pL1ft3R]

i was wondering if there was a site to where i can read a "step-by-step" guide to making my own dvds using dvd maestro? i've already visited doom9.net, but the tutorial was pretty vague.
i would like to see from beginning to end a tutorial on how to use dvd maestro. screenshots of every action would be nice also. something with a lot of DETAIL.

- how to make my own personal cursor (instead of highlighting the menu i want; like a finger or a scanned picture of my friends head)?
- how to make my own personal animated menus or still menu?
- what art program should i use for my menus?
- how to continually play numerous movie files as one stream, but able to skip to the next movie as if its a chapter?
- something simple, not too complicated.

[i'm trying to make a music video compliation with 15 music videos (all mpegs converted to dvd compliant using TMPG), and some misc 1 minute clips from various movies, with an animated menu]

I dont know of any real good tutorials for maestro but you can have a look at this link...

I would suggest the following. Use photoshop for still graphics, use vegas video to create your motion menus, use soft encode for dolby audio. If you want to have different clips run in succestion like its one big file i think you can just place them all on the maestro timeline one after the other. If that fails you'll have to join all your mpv files prior to importing them.
