I had used Nero in the past - I think I had 5 or 6 - thought it was a real dog's breakfast of a program, to be honest. (In fact, I just sent my CD to my dad last week - it was included on the driver disk that came with the DVD burner I sent....)
Anyway, I've been using Free Movies to DVD to create my .ISO file and Burn Aware Free to write to DVD - which has been fantastic. BUT, it basically means my DVDs are like "videotapes" - you put the disc in the player, and it just plays from start to finish.
Most of the time, that's fine - I don't need much fancier than that.
But SOMETIMES, I would like to do a menu - so I can select which chapter to jump to. Fancy graphics and music are a big plus, but not a must.
AND I'm pretty much a skinflint when it comes to this stuff... Freeware is always best! (Every time I buy the newest gee-whiz media software, it's obsolete before I get it registered...)
I've looked around on cnet and not seen anything earth-shattering, so I figured I'd throw it to y'all. Any recommendations?
