Re-authoring DVDs but adding menus... how?

[dvd-dude]

I have a standalone DVD burner that I burned a bunch of home movies with. I would love to rip a few select titles from the various DVDRs and compile them on another DVDR and add a menu.

I would probably rip them using DVD Shrink, but is there a way to add a menu with those ripped data files? I want to make sure I don't end up re-encoding the files or re-compressing them. All the chapter markers are in the titles as well and I would like to keep those if possible.

I may be asking the impossible, but I'm hoping someone will know here either way. I have DVD Architect by Sony but I haven't had a chance to learn much about it yet... perhaps that would do the trick somehow?

Thanks for your help!
