I want to make Wizards of Weaverly Place Season 4 on nice DVDs. Ive already designed the menus but i do not know how to do a widescreen DVD with my own menus. I have DVD Lab Pro 2 but I cant figure out how to use it. Can anyone help me with this?

Although Ulead DVD Worshop 2 is my favorite, it can only do 4x3 menus. (Understand that DVDWS2 will do 16x9 video content just fine -- only the menu is 4x3 only.)
For 16x9 menus, you just need another program. I'd use TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5, DVD Studio Pro (Mac), or Adobe Encore CS3+ for this. DVD-Lab Pro 2 is another good choice, and is what manthing uses. |

select project->project properties. then change the menu/slideshow aspect from 4:3 to 16:9. you now have a widescreen (and tv safe area) template. |
so if I redesign the menu for 4:3 I can do 16:9 video in DVDWS2?

Thanks guys I really appreciate the help.

i'll throw in this bit: you can always add a widescreen menu afterwards!
you can do so by: 1) creating the widescreen menu picture. then use vobblanker to swap the 4:3 menu for the widescreen menu. you may also have to use pgcedit if your buttons (like play button) has changed between the 4:3 menu and the widescreen menu. 2) email someone your widescreen menu. they can author a "dummy" dvd and email you that. then, you use vobblanker to substitute your videos into the dummy dvd's video placeholders. both methods are easy, quick, simple. just letting you know, ok? |
thanks manthing!
