DVD Authoring Menus

[cjb]

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.

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

Many thanks, I'll check them out.. more suggestions from anyone welcome.

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
