Authoring software that allows for Menus linking to submenus

[Shudder]

Basically I want to have a main screen that has choice 1 and 2

Under choice 1 there'd be 8 tracks/shows, and under 2 something similar as well.

I downloaded tmpgenc author and it seems generic at best for doing something like this, if it's even possible. Tmpg seems like it wants an actual feed/file to populate a menu instead of linking one page to another page, THEN linking to a file.

Does this make any sense? I'd prefer something cheap/free while not being a total nightmare usability wise. I don't really care about having music or sounds in the menu, nor care much for animated menus, but if those are there as well I'm not going to complain.

Thanks

Check out DVD-Lab.

Very nice program.

Both Sonic MyDvD and Pinnacle's Studio 8 will do what you are asking.

MyDvD came with my Sony DVDRW and I purchased Studio 8. I believe DVDLab will also do it and it has a free trial download.

Studio 8 is buggy in my experience. MyDvD is slow and I have not tired DvDLab.

Take care,

Thanks a lot, I'll give dvdlab a try I suppose.. since I guess a 'haven't tried it' sounds better than slow and buggy for the others

Hi Shudder,

LOL

Ya, I was at Fry's today looking at their software. There is a package from Sony for $100 USD. It is about the only one on the shelves I would consider.

I downloaded DvDLab and will install it. I don't need encoding as I can do that with Studio 8 But I do need to author my DVDs.

Take care,
