Hi,
I'm in the process of creating my very first dvd (yeah!). On the dvd, I would like to put my own custom photo on the Root Menu and Title/Chapters instead of using the default ones or the ones in the Cyberlink Download Zone.

How can I do this?

Thank you.

Select one that you like in the listing on the left. Right clcik on it and select "Modify". The "Menu Designer" will open. You can select to do any number of things including selecting the background image or video. Look at the options.

Click "save" to use it in the project you are working with or "save as" for a template to be used later.

Hi cbidnick -

As Steve described, it's easy to do.

This tutorial shows the basics of modifying an existing menu or creating a new one - http://youtu.be/rGCM_Vs4O-M - at about 1:10 it shows how to change the background.



I usually crop images (outside PD) to 16:9 before importing them into menus.

Cheers - Tony
