Hey, it's me again and I'd like to thank everyone that helped me in my last topic concerning DVD region drives. I'm wondering if there's an excellent DVD authoring program that will let me make a menu any way I want and allow me to let the DVD do anything I want it to when I select a certain feature or play a movie. I'd like to customize the menu as much as I can and add loads of different and separate graphics on a single menu page.

What I mostly want in the program is when I play a movie or choose a scene selection menu, I'd like a video to play in between (like you see on most live action DVD movies these days (ex. Spidey swinging in front of the screen to audience when film is played or Neo about to punch Smith and then a special effect and movie plays)) the menu and what I selected with the remote.

I've already used 2 authoring programs (one is TMPGEnc DVD Author which can make menus but is very very limited in doing so and doesn't seem to be able to do what I want) and don't know how many more I'm gonna have to go through but I'd really appreciate if someone can help me out, thanks.
 
Try DVD Lab-Pro. It does everything I want and even more! Apparently it is the software some professional authoring studios use.
 
Thanks alot man! I looked it up and it looks very interesting, gonna have to try it out. I also just got done successfully creating a DVD with menus and chapters with NeroVision Express (damn thing won't burn DVDs properly if ya drag and drop divx video). Only one complaint, why is it that the menus freeze up my DVD player when they're done playing (animated menus) but works fine on my PC when played on my DVD drive (animation just flawlessly loops over and over again)?

Anyway, I will definately try DVD-lab Pro tomorrow or the day after, thanks again B).
 
I can vouch for DVD-lab Pro aswell. It's a great piece of software, although *cough* somewhat expensive *cough*.

Edit: with regards to your nero question. I think it might be something do with the speed the DVD is burnt at. I've had a couple of problems with DVD's I've burnt with nero (The sound goes off and on every so often). It may help if you convert the DivX to a different format before adding the clip to nero. You could try DIKO.
