thankyou for the link.but i would like to add menus possibly animated

[bskousen]

If you want animated menus, you will need to spend more money. Impression DVD Pro supports animated menus. I THINK Ulead's DVD Workshop also supports them.

maestro is dead... scenarist is still alive...

for scenarist:
"Scenarist NT can be bought at one of the official Sonic retailers: http://www.sonic.com/resellers/ "

for maestro:
"Spruce Tech has been aquired by Apple a while back. Ever since that it's been pretty hard to get your hands on any of their softwares. They no longer have a fully operational webpage so you have to try and contact Apple www.apple.com or online stores that sell DVD authoring equipment.
