How to make menus when recording -R's with Panasonic E50

[wondertoons]

We use the Panasonic E50 DVD recorder. Is there a way to us a PC program to make menus for these before we finalize? We can make chapters and title them with the panny but it takes forever using the remote to scroll around to the letters....

Thanks for any help

If you mean right on the E-50, then no. If you mean export the video to computer, then yes. Use the DVD-RAM discs and a drive that supports reading of DVD-RAM discs. I use the LG 4040b burner. Works very good. Then I use Womble Mpeg Video Wizard to edit and TMPGEnc DVD Author to author the DVD and Nero (in DVD Video mode) to burn. This works great!
