Step 3: Creating Styles

Creating good stuff is a waste if you cannot present it well. You don’t want garbage or junk showing your DVD titles. It should be personalized depending on what video and pictures you are adding and to whom you are giving it.

Select a beautiful menu that acts like a previewer of your DVD, it shows up the moment when the DVD gets inserted. It has options right from Baby blue to Collage preview to Hollywood style.

Step 4: Customizing Menu text, Menu Style, and Add little music.

Look at the menu which is right above the preview. You can customize the menu text to say something which you had always wanted, customize the menu with foreground and background video, and customize menu buttons with your style of a text.

Once done this comes the best part. Let’s say you got a whole bunch of pictures that would run like a slide show and you know how boring it can be when you just keep watching it for long. So what do you do? Add some light music which keeps on changing as the slide goes. Schedule it well to give it dramatic effects according to the pictures and you will love the reaction of the person who sees it.

And you are done. Just hit to burn it and you will get an awesome home video with your own fun pictures and video moments which makes a perfect gift for your dear and near ones.
