I am on my way to putting DVDs together
I have some favorite shows I want to put on to a DVD Now I want to
build a menu. Has anyone done this?
I have DVD Pro now to use But there must be easier ways I presume
it must be like Flash or something. Some help would have me bowing
I assume you mean DVD Studio Pro from Apple?
If so their is not much better available for creating DVD's.
Their are tutorials on DVDSP software disc, very handy also a very
specific manual/help available online and in paperback with package.
I have included a couple of sites to investigate, also register for
Apples online seminars if you have a fast DSL connection.

Their are many more online, google is your friend also Apples
Discussion forums for specific program/hardware are also useful.
As for Menus and stuff same as above although one can create the
actual backgrounds in many programs and even go as far as create the
menu icons and layout. But, the actions still have to be triggered
whilst formatting, muxing and burning DVD as well as encoding if not
done previously.
The process of creating interactive DVD's etc is not a very simple
task it takes persistence, practice and a thorough understanding of
what you require or desire (storyboarding). Including working
knowledge of file formats and mathematical restrictions. Lots of
reading or attend courses provided and practice. If this is not the
case then look into hiring professional to produce the required DVD,
or willing and able too get you up and running with templates?
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
