Hi All
I'm looking for a free and simply way to create stunning looking Blu-Ray menus for a superb project I've just completed. What is the best software to use for this? I have seen some amazing looking created menus on YouTube that look like they are manufacturer made and I am interesting in getting to grips with making and creating one. I am happy to start the ball rolling with a basic menu to put onto my project where I can have a background image of a pic from the movie with a few editable buttons for PLAY, CHAPTERS and SUBTITLES with the ability to insert background music looping over the menu. I can do this quite easily on DVD's using DVD STYLER but I need something like this for BLU-RAYS too. Also, if someone can help provide an advanced tutorial on using Adobe Encore/Sony Vegas etc to create manufacturer looking menus or know anyone that maybe able to help me create one?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

and related threads in the DVDStyler forum? -
Menu backgrounds start out as static pictures or videos so a good graphics editor or a good video editor would be useful for creating them. Some here have recommended Blu DiscStudio Lite to those looking for free software to use for basic Blu-ray authoring. I don't think it is possible to do advanced Blu-ray authoring with free software. Some of the features required for that are only available with software costing hundreds of dollars or thousands of dollars.

Yes, I'm happy to start basic menu editing which will allow me to use my own picture/video source
for the top menu and to insert my own editable buttons etc. Something as simple as DVDStyler would
be brilliant but I just find any software that will allow me to do this. All software uses templates for the
menus and that's not what I want. I want my own picture/short looping video source as the picture with
simple buttons or text which takes you to the movie/trailer/extras etc. so does anyone know of any free
software like this? -
The only free Blu-ray authoring software capable of menu creation that I am aware of is Blu Disc Studio Lite and multiAVCHD. I don't use them but I don't think they require using built-in tempates.
According to the information posted by videobruger, it is possible to use DVDStyler to author HD video and create HD menus inside a DVD structure and then use DVDtoBD Express to translate the DVD structure into a Blu-ray structure. I have tried DVDStyler and know that it allows menu creation with or without templates
If none of those do everything that you want, then, as far as I know, you will need to pay somewhere between ~$60 and ~$100 for consumer-level basic Blu-ray authoring software.Ignore list: hello_hello, tried, TechLord, Snoopy329 -
Due to the nature of BD and the late timing, I would venture to say that the terms "free" and "advanced bluray" are mutually exclusive.

DVDStyler limits the bitrate to 9 MBits if it is to encode which would be rather low for HD video so it's better to make the encode outside DVDStyler and use "Copy" for the video.
