Hi everyone... I am looking for some help with authoring blu-ray discs. I am not attempting to tak a previous disc and make a blu-ray, but I have taken one of my favorite TV shows off of VHS and I want to make blu-ray discs from that.

So far, I have not had much luck. I did attempt to do this with BD Rebuilder, but when I try to add my own menu image, it won't work. Is this because BD Rebuilder is not good for doing this from your own files?

I am hoping someone can offer some advice on this topic. I have looked at other software and just looking at BDedit looks very confusing. I am just not certain which method is best. Working on menus seems to be the hardest part of buildiung blu-rays.

here is the ini details from my latest attempt

I don't know how easy it is build a pop up menu or if it is possible with BD rebuilder. I am hoping someone here can help me move forward. Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

Yes, I have seen this thread but honestly, I don't know where to start or how I could make this work. Looks like a lot of time and effort. Is there a simple way to make those Quick-Play menus? Where do I start? What do I need to do?
Oh, and I do appreciate the response. Thanks.
