  How to create a menu for your home video digital movie (that doesn’t go on DVD)?

  Posted by Albuerto Enes on May 19, 2018 at 4:44 pm

  Hi guys,
  If I rent or buy a movie from iTunes I get a beautiful menu with a picture from the movie, with some movie options and so on… How can I create that for my home videos? I don’t want the movie to just start, I want to get into the menu first where I can choose what to do. I don’t make DVD’s anymore (I did the menus with Encore). So it’s just for digital use.
  Can you guys help me out?
  Thanks a lot!

  If it is still standard def stuff, you could still use Encore. When you are finished authoring, burn an ISO file instead of DVD.

  Then use VideoLan VLC Media Player as your playback app. It reads ISO files and will display and use your “DVD” navigation.

  System:
  Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
  Win 7 64-bit
  32GB RAM
  Adobe CC 2017.1 (as of 8/2017)
  256GB SSD system drive
  4 internal media drives RAID 5
  Typically cutting short form from UHD MP4, HD MP4, and HD P2 MXF.

  Hi,
  Now it’s Hd content that i am using.
  The goal is to create a file that i can put on my plex server to watch on my apple tv.
  So the menu has to be somewhere in the file…
  but i don’t know where to start.
  Thanks for sharing your ideas.

  Hi Albuerto,

  I doubt that the menu is actually “baked” into the video file in any way, more likely happening in the player software.
