Good DVD Menu creator for XP

[bootmonster]

I'm looking for a good, easy to use, intuitive (so may aren't) piece of software to author a DVD and add menus.

I've used nero in the past which is simple but awful all at the same time. Is there a good program that lets you add avi's or vob files and easily create menu links and multiple menus, to a fairly professional standard, without being overly complicated?

DVD Lab Pro is good. But you can't add AVIs. You have to add elementary streams. But you can make these in TMPEG or any other MPEG encoder these days.

Cool, found a pretty good guide here.

Can finally make up a decent 12oz mouse DVD

I use Adobe Encore DVD which produces great results everytime. It's a bit of a fiddle but if you're used to using Adobe products (ie Photoshop or Illustrator) then you'll pick it up no problem.

I use this too, for the most part. It's expensive though.
DVD Lab Pro is cheap and has a scripting language which is good for more complex DVDs - but you can't beat the Adobe inter-application workflow.

Cheers for all the advice lads.

Another vote for DVD Lab Pro here but for converting really fast and some reasonable but basic menu's VSO ConvertXtoDVD is also recommended.

You can throw any format at it, tell it how big you want your dvd to be and it will convert and compress it accordingly. And Quickly.
