I don't think there is any free software that will do the job well, but I may be wrong. Is so, i stand corrected. However, the best program for creating custom menus, that is easy to use and begginer friendly, would have to be Nero Vision Express. It comes as a trial, free for 30 days, and then you have the option to buy if you'd like. There are many guides on AfterDawn using NVE, so see how you go. Any questions just post back.
