Have you tried Anti Aliasing the text? Comparing different fonts?

At this point your options are really only limited to Sonic’s EDVD to link any amount of on disk content. With encore you can put the presentations on the disk but you are unable to link them to the DVD menus.

I was refering to encore’s limitations, not EDVD’s. The lack of ability to link to on disk content is a limiting factor.
sorry for the confusion

I tried the same thing a while back and i found that the transitions were smoother when the disk is actually burned vs using the preview in encore which was clunky.
Don’t know how it will affect your project though, mine at the time was pretty small.

As mentioned in the other posts, to really get the most out of encore, you really need to know Photoshop(as well as have it). I’ve used a number of applications but i keep coming back to encore because of its photoshop intergration. I have found that it is limiting in a number of way though. For example, you can’t link external files such as websites, doc’s or even pdf’s without an expensive 3rd party application(EDVD). This may not seem a large disadvantage since most of the competitors cannot do this either but it is still a pain. With CPU DVD players more and more common, computer functionality of the DVD is more important than ever. Being able to link a clients website is important. Creating truly animated menu’s is also a pain. If you are not familiar with after effects it won’t be all that easy. Sure, video buttons are simple enough to create(click a check box and render) but to make buttons move is another matter and After Effects isn’t free.
As suggested, get the trial versions and give them a test. At least if the program sucks you can rip the menu’s and buttons from it.

I have a feeling that the request has been made several times already. I love the program but the limited functionality really hinder what you can do.
