Simple menu for my dvd?

[sterankin]

I have all the VOB files, and the ifo file. I just want a simple menu, just a picture, with a "Play Movie" button.

Is there software that I can use to do this? (NOT Maestro!) I have photoshop and can use it farly well.

But how can I create a menu using an image etc and integrate it with my existing vobs?

I have carried out a search on the forums and there dosent seem to be any help. Also the guide at doom9.org uses maestro so no luck there.


I would be grateful for any help or pointers on this matter.

I am in the same boat, I have a mess of programs from Ulead, Pinnacle and Sonic, none of these will work with VOB's,
I understand the new version of Uleads Movie factory will use VOB's but affraid to buy it and there is no demo to try on the 2.0 version I have the 1.0.0.1 version with all upgrades and it does not see VOB's. Everything I have tried wants a MPEG2, but if I use that I will loose my 5.1 ac3 in the VOB's, I have some Dolby Digital and THX demo's I would like to get from VOB to DVD+R, with chapters and or Menu's, but nothing so far.

I use SpruceUp to author which allows the insertion of chapter points. It also lets you pull an imported picture or a still frame from the movie as a menu background and has several different buttons you can add on to play or jump to chapter points. It is very easy to use as I am a newbie. Download the trial version of SpruceUp from the tools section and then get the ummmm, full version or pass somewhere else.
