Default How to add a menu when making DVDs??

Can someone explain to me how I could add the Menu List in the beginnin of a DVD. For example, my friend gave me a copy of a soccer game and when i pop it in the DVD player, the menu shows if I want to watch 1. full game or 2. goal kicks.

Do i need a special program to do this, Right now I have the NEC-3520 and the Sony RDR-HX900.

thnx!

For a game I doubt youll be able to customize it.. For movies typically the program you use to burn you can use to add them.

edit- apparently a misread on my part.

I'm going to assume this is an amatuer dvd of people playing soccer in the park, not one of a professional match you would have to buy

You need a DVD Authoring Application. DVD Architect is one that comes to mind, DVD Factory is another.

These ones are pro-sumer. There are some lower end apps such as DVDiT and probably a slew more that ship with DVD WRiters and mabe capture cards.

In short, yes you need menuing software.

Video in the background yes ! , animated thumbnails never tested it , but it has an option to show the first 10 seconds of the video inside the button tho .

Those menus look like the rudimentary ones that even the most generic of DVD burning software can handle.

Ok. so are any of these softwares mentioned above capable of turnin a DVD that has the picture is decent quality into High Quality?

Reason why I ask is after recording a 3hr show, I cant split it so that I can burn them on 2 DVD with High Quality but have to burn them into 1 DVD with lower quality.

Or should I get a usb cable to plug the DVD-R into my PC to edit?
