Hello friends!

Can someone please recommend me a software that can help me to make DVD menus. Actually I have many DVD's that contain home shot video. Now as I want to add multiple videos in one DVD, I need to create a menu for that. Which softwar can help me to create automatic menus.

Please note that I dont need a DVD authoring software as I neither have to compress, add, delete or recode the videos. All I need is a software which will import my vob files and create a menu for them and should support multiple subtitles. So please dont ask me to try Nero Recode as Nero Recode encodes the movie all over again and I dont want that to happen.

I came accross a few softwares like DVD lab pro and DVDReMake, but I found them a bit complicated. Suggest me something that will automatically do all the stuff.

I am really surprised as I have asked this questions in many forums and never got the name of any such software. Does this mean that making simple DVD menu's is so tough???

Thank you.

yes i guess it is not that easy, so what seems to be the problem with dvdlab? (should be a matter of few minutes to build such a dvd...)

I did use DVDLab Pro to create menus for my existing movies which has english subtile.
I didnt alter the movie atall here in the software. All I did was imported the movie and created a menu for the same. In this process I faced a few problems...

1. After making the menu and compiling the final DVD, when I viewed the movie in my DVD Player, there was no subtitle present. Where did my english subtitle go???

2. When I viewed the same movie in my computer using Media Player 10, the movie had the subtitle but the colour of the subtitle had changed from that of the original. It changed from simple white to bold pink, which actually was looking ver odd.

Now, when I didnt alter the movie atall, how did my subtitle change and where did it dissappear in the DVD player if it is present in Media Player.

DVD Styler doesnt recognise vob format and all my movies are in vob format(dvd structure)...

Unless there have been change(s) made with the version(you are using) that prevent the vob file usage, I have been used it successfully on numerous occasions!

The most typical example: special features in a movie disk spanned over two menus. I can cherry-pick a few titles(vobs) within the confines of the disk capacity.
