Custom templates for DVDWS2 work will be made upon request.

- Send me your proposed menu image (the PSD is suggested, but I'll take anything). Raw images are fine too.
- Tell me how many episodes on the disc.
- Give me the episode guide you're using, as a text file (no links to sites)
- Tell me how many discs you'll have.
- Let me know if you want your name branded on the menu (I use LS COLLECTION on most of my sets). I do it fairly inconspicuous or tasteful.

Just be sure you've put some thought and work into the images, I'm helping you, not doing it all for you.

I may have you submit some screen caps or more images if what you give me doesn't work.

We'll do better as a hobby community if we dump out-of-box templates, if we dump TDA (TMPG DVD Author), and it we make menus that are easier to read and look nicer. This is a skill I have, and I'm happy to help.

Still menus only, I'm not open to motion menus, as those take more work. Baby steps. We can do those later. Must understand stills first.

PM me.

I have a question about camtasia. I m trying to take a few second screen caps of my menus.

When I capture . It shows everything except whats within the captured area lol

Don't use Camtasia for anything.

If you want a still, use VirtualDub to open the MPEG, then copy a screen cap.

If you want motion, cut off a piece with Womble MPEG-VCR.

Nope, You or I misunderstood. I m not trying to create a menu. I want capture a animated menu.
Much like you post your Xmen Clip. So I can post here to share glimpse of the finished set lol

My Merlin Menu is .GIF overlay. It gives the effect of a motion menu without video . My sources were not A quality lol. So I got creative with my own lol
Not a standard motion menu from video :P

That X-MEN clip was done in Adobe Premiere, with the original files.
That's why it's missing the menu selection icons.

Ok, just view my custom template here. You cant view the custom Thumbnails, or buttons or anything. I created this for myself. If I ever want to go back fix a few things.

You ll get the idea
