Splash Screen on stop

More and more DVDs I watch show a logo/splash screen when I hit the stop button on the remote. A good example of this would be Batman Begins. When I hit STOP on the remote a Batman logo appears on the screen instead of my DVD player's default screen.

Is there any way to do this with my home-made DVDs? I searched but came up empty.

Thanks!

You can do a search around here for "Jacket Picture". Sony DVD Architect can do it. And you can also easily do it, following this guide:
How to make a Jacket picture for DVD

Jacket cover images (generally referred to as Jacket_P images) are used by some DVD players to give a visual indication of what disc is available. Jacket_P images are most often utilized by players that can hold more than one DVD at a time (such as a Sony DVD jukebox).

Adding Jacket_P info to a disc is pretty simple. You will need to create one image that will be scaled to three different sizes (or, you could create a separate image for each size if you want to provide simplified graphics at lower resolutions). The three sizes are made available so that the DVD player can select the appropriate one for its display context (menus, details, etc.)

The sizes and required file names are as follows:

J00___5L.MP2 720x480 ntsc
J00___5M.MP2 176x112 ntsc
J00___5S.MP2 96x64 ntsc
J00___6L.MP2 720x576 pal
J00___6M.MP2 176x144 pal
J00___6S.MP2 96x80 pal

Note that your menu aspect ratio should be 4:3 and that there are three underscores in a row in the filenames.

As indicated by the filenames above, the images should be saved as MPEG2 encoded images.

Once you've made the files, create a Jacket_P folder, store the images in it, and include the folder on your dvd disk along with AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS
