How can I AUTHOR a motion menu for VTS files?

[Reck One]

Okay, I've read almost everything I can, but I couldn't find anything about this . . .

Here's my situation, I'm backing up my dvd's.

I have one animated tv show series that I want to back up.

Each episode is only like 23 minutes long, and on each disc there is only four episodes.

I want to rip two of the discs with dvd decrypter in VTS files, and put anywhere from 6 to 8 episodes on one disc, and create a new motion menu that will work with the files in their new arrangement.

Is there any program that is capable of authoring VTS files and creating menus for them the way my TMPGEnc program does for Mpegs?

And if there isn't or there is one that costs a couple of body parts that I can't afford to spare at the moment, could someone suggest something that may be an inexpensive solution to my problem?

Thanks in advance,

peace out peoples

TMPGenc DVD author can hand VTS files.

DVD Remake Pro (not free but worth its $50 price tag) can take 2 DVD rips and combine them keeping both original menus.

If you wish to replace what might be a static menu with some motion video of your own, it can do that, too.

See the Read This First sticky for guides.

If you wish to create your own DVD from eps, I'd recommend a combination of PgcEdit and VobBlanker (importing titles and menus and replacing the static menus). You will need to write the navigation command yourself then. Can be time consuming.
