making a dvd menu

[fLum0x]

i have some video clips that i want to put on a dvd to send to a friend. i want to put it into a menu so he can just watch it on his dvd player and navigate to different parts of it. what program would you recommend i use for this? open to any suggestions.

Nero?

I use Nero as well

DVDLab Pro.

a little intimidating at first, but the creative freedom it gives you is amazing.

You can even make professional style menus.

Tovid, IIRC. However, I stopped making menus.

Adobe Premiere Elements

I use Adobe Encore DVD, pretty versatile, and has a damn good AND fast MPEG2 encoder built in.
NeroVision seems kind of dumbed down, I only use it for something I need to get on a DVD quick, like some TV eps or something. But for some of the independent films I make, I take the time to make nice menus/a well authored disc with Encore.

I use mostly DVD Encore and like mrSHEiK124 mentioned it is quite versatile but when I am too lazy to make a nice menu I use nero.

DVDMeastro also not that bad. I have yet to try Nero. I had serious authoring issues with Encore.
