How to add a initial menu to a previously recorded DVD??? Thanxs.

[fgtan]

Hello guys.

I am a newbie and I´ve been usind dvd lab pro to build and burn my homemade dvds...

These are very simple dvds, they have a initial menu, then a play buttom and the movie starts...
i have around 15 dvds where I filmed my children at different dates and situations...
What I want to do, is to insert a new menu with my kids picture, inside and before the 1rst menu, on each dvd without having to reencode everything.
The dvd I have now are: MENU-then - MOVIE...and what I want to do is to insert a NEW Menu...then MENU(existing one)-then MOVIE.

I was able to copy back the ifo and vob files back to my pc, and got stucked...but now, wich software do I use to load them up and insert this new MENU and re burn them up???

As it seems to be so simple, I kindly ask you guys to provide myself the easiest software capable of doing this and how to do it...
as I told you..I am a newbie!!!

Thank you all!!!

Regards!

dvdremake pro would probably be easiest. click on it for some guides.

Depending on how complex the menu structure is on your original dvd's, you could probably do it pretty quickly by creating small dvd projects with your Authoring Application of choice. The menu should have the same number of buttons as your initial dvd's.

Then using PGCedit, you can save the pgc commands for the existing menu, import the new menu from your small dvd projects, and then import the pgc commands.
