    I have some home movies i want to put on dvd and am using Nerovision 3 right now. It works alright but only allows for only one menu and there are not very many menu templates to choose from.

    I was wondering what's the best software for making multible menus like on commercial movies (i.e. one menu for playing the movie, one for chapters, and one for special stuff) while still being easy and allowing me to have animated buttons like Nero.

    Pinnacle Studio plus 10 is what i'm looking at now. Any good? Anything up to around $200 is fine as long as it's easy to use and has enough options to not have most of my movies look the same. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I use Pinnacle 9 works pretty good - I have made quite a few DVD's but only with a main menu and chapter menus - for the most part it works well as long as you have enough horse power. Still suspect to the occasional crash but better than the previous version

    There is a users form on the Pinnacle site - that might offer more info.

    later...............du

    I have used Ulead's Movie Factory, but that was a while ago.
