Manually adding a menu to re-authored episode dvds?

[Chetwood]

While I'm still working on reauthoring my own Angel & Buffy arc-run DVDs I realized that the new DVD Shrink beta's deep analysis makes for really nice quality even when using 4 episodes on a DVD-R instead of 3. Usually I demuxed all streams including subs and reauthored 3 eps with DVD Maestro which was quite time consuming.

Now I would like to use DVD Shrink to save some time. However, since I can't use the original menus (the episodes being from different DVDs and seasons) nor don't need any extras I gotta do my own simple menu. All I want is a static page that has 4 buttons to select each ep. How do I do it? Ifoedit, TMPGenc DVD Author? Any suggestions welcome.

Tmpg Dvd Author does this easily, however it can be a bear getting it to accept the subs.

Obviously as well as to accept 2 ac3 soundtracks. When I try to import them I cannot set it to bilingual cause as TMPGenc DVD Author puts it:

'This option cannot be used because the format Dolby Digital (AC-3) cannot be reencoded'.

However, since these are episodes ripped straight from DVD and thus being in a compliant format why should I want to reencode them anyway? All I want is to add a small static menu before those eps so I can choose which one to watch.

Any suggestions?

DVD Lab works for me and the menus are a lot better. ;)
