What's a good, simple DVD menu creation program?

[jonnyD]

I've burned plenty of DVD's before but never played with any menu creation software. I have several old Speed Racer files I'd like to burn for my kids onto one disc with a menu. I'd like to find a simple program that makes a simple menu. If there's freeware out there, even better.

I'm not a real fan of any of the free ones (at least not their menu creation abilitys). You could try DVD Flick, though. As for payware, DVD Lab Pro is very good and simple.

You might also try the very easy to use (payware) TMPGEnc DVD Author...

I've just used DVDStyler for the first time -- a nice front end for the DVDAuthor software -- to merge two titles onto a single disc and create a simple menu.

One complaint -- each of my merged titles already had its own IFO file containing existing chapter marks, but DVDStyler/DVDAuthor doesn't appear to read those IFO files to extract existing chapter marks.

Am I missing a command-line parameter somewhere? I'd really like to find a way to tell DVDStyler/DVDAuthor to use existing chapter marks when reauthoring.

AFAIK there is no automatic way to import existing chapters into DVDStyler. But you can use Chapter-X-Tractor to extract your chapters from the IFO file into your clipboard and then paste the chapters into DVDStyler.

Many thanks, manolito. I've just downloaded ChapterXtractor from the Video Help site (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ChapterXtractor). It's just what I've been looking for.

:thanks:
