Need to create video DVD with menu & chapters from VOBs. Any suggestion

[mr_tinka]

I need a DVD authoring program to create simple DVDs for some projects I'm busy with.

My source videos are provided to me on DVDr so extract the VOBs to my hard drive. I already have an application that allows me to edit the VOBs (i.e. cut sections, apply fades and transitions between scenes etc). I then save the project as VOB files.

Features I need:

1. Import videos direct from VOBs
2. Import several individual videos as seperate titles
3. Create chapters in each title
4. Create a simple menu (add my own background image, display volume title, list titles)

The application I use for editing does a great job but when it comes to authoring it isn't very good. I don't need anything fancy, just to be able to burn compilations as specified above. Please don't suggest Nero as I've used that for a long time now and I'm sick of the little problems I keep having with it.

TMPGEnc DVD Author should be able to do all that you list. It will also do the cutting of sections so you don't have to do that beforehand.

However, I don't believe it will do the fades and transitions.

I'll try it, thanks for the quick reply. I'd rather do all the editing separately anyway.
