DVD Creator
"In order to watch videos from my PC or smartphones on the DVD player, I have burnt most of my videos to DVD. But recently, one of my friends shows me her wedding video which made by the photographer. I was surprised to see that the DVD menu is her own picture. I want to take my own picture as DVD menu, too. How can I do that?"
Someone proposed the above question on BBS. Maybe some of you also want to take your own picture as your DVD menu, so now I will show you two ways to customize your own DVD menu with personalizing title and chapter.
Preparations for Customizing DVD Menu
First, before starting to make your own DVD menu, you need to make preparations as below:
(1) DVD creator software. Considering that you may not have DVD creator software in your PC, so I hereby recommend you download the best one: VideoByte DVD Creator.
(2) Pictures that you want to use as the background of DVD menu.
(3) Videos that you need to burn to DVD.
(4) A blank DVD disc.
Two Ways to Customize Your Own DVD Menu
Today I am going to show you how to customize your own DVD Menu with Leawo DVD Creator and VideoByte DVD Creator.
How to Make DVD Menu with Leawo DVD Creator?
Step 1. Put Your Images to Corresponding Folders
First, you need to create corresponding folders to save your images. Open the directory of "\Leawo\Prof. Media\Menu Template". If you haven't downloaded any template from the program's menu center, then you need to create "Download" folder. Put all your images in the "Download" file.
Step 2. Make an XML File to Integrate Images
You need to make a "Download Template" XML file to integrate all your images into a custom DVD menu template. Or you can directly copy codes from the Internet to write an XML file.
Step 3. Integrate the Images and XML File
Copy and save "Download Template.xml" file to the "\Leawo\Prof. Media\Burn\MenuTemplate" folder and replace the previous one (if there exists one already). Then you can find your images under the "Online" tab.
Note: This method has a limitation. Your DVD menu templates which made by yourselves will be covered and deleted when you download new DVD templates from Leawo's Online template center.
