Hi everybody.

I'm currently making a few VCD's, I know how to capture video, and convert to the correct format, and the disks work fine in my DVD player.

However, I was wondering if it was possible to make them a bit more user friendly by adding menu's etc. I usually capture in 3 seperate MPG's, and was wondering if there was a bit of software that would allow me to access each one via a menu or similar.

Thanks for your help!

There's lots of software that does this yes like Ulead DVD Workshop BUT, I have to warn you, Menu's on VCD arent exactly like DVD Menu's. There are no ifo files on VCD so you wont be able to have interactive menu's like how you can select things by using the directional keys. You will be limited to pressing a certain number to play the the movie in question. As for chapters, they can be easily added with VCDEasy.

I wouldn't recomend you get Ulead Software just for VCD menu's, i honestly dont think the menu's are worth the trouble at all!
