Hello all!
In regards to the disc menu when burning one of my videos to disc, I tend to take the "path of least resistence", meaning I tend to use only the pre-existing templates, changing only what's necessary, from "My Videos" to whichever title I want, and perhaps reposition the title a little. Beyond that, I don't change much at all. I found PD5 and 7 much more compliant when it came to creating "custom" menu templates but not so easy with PD8 or 14, That's the drawback, it inhibits a user's creativity. Thus far I've only used PD14 to author one disc successfully(an earlier attempt failed) and that problem hangs on the ability to set the grade of video to be authored, as I've commented on elsewhere. But for menus, PD14 has effectively discouraged me from trying to create my own templates. Such a shame, really, as personalised DVD menus add that bit extra to a home-made video presentation.
