adding alogo at the first of a DVD menu

[hellbound]

hi!
I wanna add a logo (maybe a page with some text on it, just for Fading in & Fading out the page)
I want it to show when the DVD plays
I wonder if any one could help me on this matter
i heard that PGCEdit can do this, but I don't know how

I would make a first play title video, see for example https://forum.videohelp.com/topic326028.html#1681140

I believe the PGCEdit method involves authoring the intro/logo as it's own DVD complete with VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders....along with using IFOEdit as well.
I've been looking for that guide for a long time but cannot remember where it was.

ok, thanks
I guess I found it how
there is another question!
how can I make a page which some text fading in & fading out
I am wondering if anyone can explain it With Adobe Encore DVD 2
sorry for asking two questions in one topic ...

Make a 720x576 (if for PAL) BMP with the text. I suppose any photo editor can do that. Then encode your pic as a video lasting as long as you like. I prefer to use AviSynth for the job:

ImageSource("C:\Path\To\TextPic.bmp",End=250,FPS=2 5)
FadeIO0(50)

That tells it to make the pic 10 seconds long (250 frames at 25fps for PAL DVD), and to fade it in and out for 2 seconds (50 frames) each. Send it to any encoder that accepts AviSynth scripts (which is most of them), and then author the resulting M2V with Muxman, adding audio if you like.

... or you can use Encore 2 - just create a slide show with your picture and use fade in/out effect and then link that slide show to whatever you need.
(never tried creating a slide show with 1 picture, but I guess it should work)!
