This was discussed not too long ago, but I can't find the thread off hand. IME, it seems many programs are intimidating when you're a newbie. I initially downloaded trial versions of Nero Ultra & DVD Lab. As a newbie, Nero was VERY easy to use & DVD Lab was very intimidating. So I bought Nero. But very quickly, I outgrew it & ended up buying DVD Lab (the pro version), too. :rolleyes: But Nero was not a total waste of money as it does automatically convert the occasional PAL shows I get to NTSC.

OH, and there's a difference between making the actual menus vs the graphics you may want to use for menus. So I'm not sure which one you meant.

Photoshop, and TMPGEnc 1.6 or Photoshop and (insert re-authoring program here)

I use Photoshops exclusivley for menu creation.

If you are new to DVD authoring Ulead Workshop2 has some nice options, but there is a learning curve.
