Building a DVD good neophite program?

[XDelusion]

Been trying a few guides, and program, none of the ones I have ran across so far seem to help me much, either they request some esoteric file format aside of MPEG, or they explain things as if I already have some what of an understanding of how it all works.

Can someone guide me to a good program, I just want a basic menu screen with a picture in the back ground.

What is the best program to burn the finished DVD projects? I looked at Nero, but I don't know where to begin with it.

TMPGEnc DVD Author will author a DVD, creating menus with built-in backgrounds or you can create your own. It will also burn to disk.

Essentially you need a reasonable understanding of any program to get it to work. No one is going to write down "Click Edit, Click View, Click Option 1, Click OK", etc ect

It might pay for you to read the help files associated with the programs you are trying to learn.

My advice would be to switch to Nero Express and use the DVD-Video template. There is a guide here.
