TMPGEenc menu question

[neiltracy00]

Hi kids, is there any programme or whatever i can use along with tmpgenc that i can import different menu`s rather than the limited what is on that programme. i know it may be a crap programme but i like it, i tried ulead and personally thought it was crap. i hate to change when something works !!! How do you do bonus page menus ??

cheers in advance

Are you talking TMPGENC's DVD Author program? (what version?) If so, you can create your own menus from scratch with that program. Create a background with photoshop or other photo editing software, and select is as the background. If you want to get really fancy, you can use your own buttons.

When you create your own, you also get to customize the layout and format of the screen.

There's a lot you can do with TDA. It just requires a little planning and creative thinking, since it's not as explicit as Ulead.

You can also do quite a few tricks with Photoshop or Premier. Most of my DVDs are/were done with TDA.

Here are two tutorials I wrote that use TDA.

And here's a page of menus I've done. Most were done in TDA, if not, they could be easily duplicated in it.
