ABSTRACT
Very much like their restaurant counterparts, the menus on a DVD provide the
audience with a choice of selections that can be enjoyed as a whole or sampled
à la carte. On more complex discs, they provide access to every part of a DVD,
allowing the audience to construct a satisfying experience, from appetizers all
the way through to dessert. But navigation isn’t the whole story behind the
menus in a DVD. Menus can be used to add interactive content and special
effects, and their design is how the author really personalizes the DVD, giving it
a certain look and feel. Menu design and creation is the heart and soul of your
DVD project. It’s that important.
