What exactly does this do?

It does exactly what the name says. If you do not enable this option, DVD-RB will not touch the original menus. This makes sense for still menus, but these days there are many DVDs which use animated menus or menus with a film clip in the background. In these cases encoding the menus will save some bytes which can be used much better to give the main movie a little more room.

P.S.
You can even save more bitrate if you use "MenuShrink" by jeanl. This nifty little program can convert animated menus to still menus.

Thanks!

Is there any way to access an AVS file for this, like in D2AVS? (I'm into menu editing).
