    I backup a lot of tv shows onto dvd-r.

    I would like to create a dvd menu for tv episodes.

    I mainly use dvdshrink but it wont allow me to create menus.

    Is there any free program which can allow you to create dvd menus easily, like with preloaded menu templates etc

    thanks

    DVDStyler is free - but requires some reading if going beyond the basics.

    For the simple menu I would be inclined to convert the episodes from VOB to MPEG using 'VOB2MPG'.
    Each episode is now a single mpeg-2 file that can be loaded into DVD Flick and a menu created for each title.
    Since the titles are mpeg-2, set 'Project Settings' > 'Video' > 'Advanced' to 'Copy MPEG-2 Streams' - this ensures that the video won't be encoded.
