DVD Authoring Menus

Hi,
I have been using TmpGenc ver 1.6 for some time now and find it does a superb job of authoring a basic DVD with main menu and chapter menus.
However, I have a need to produce a next generation DVD with a 'first' level that then points to the second level main with additional chapter menus if required, rather like more complex 'pro' DVD.
Can anyone suggest a reliable program that offers this, together with the latest format options etc.

This one
http://www.ulead.co.uk/dmf/

The other is the older but More capable Ulead Movie Workshop2 ( which they seem to have phased out; Pity )
and yet another is DVD Architect ( or Architect Studio) by Sony Vegas
DVD Architect is usually sold only with the full Vegas package . This was the case with Architect Studio ( the cut down version ) but it seems to be a standalone product as well now

There are others but these are the one I use
As for formats, AVI, Mpeg are the usual input formats for any DVD authoring Software

Do a search under DVD authoring and see what comes up

Re: DVD Authoring Menus

There are other titles I'm reluctant to suggest due to
Cost
Difficulty of use
Limited feature set
In the case of TMPGenc " periodic licence" which is a bit like a recurring Windows activation feature: I think it is paranoia for anti piracy gone mad!

They all have a little learning curve but results can be impressive
