I have digital video footage that i want to edit and put onto dvd.

For example i want to put in a menu at the beginning of the dvd.

Can anyone suggest the best software to use for this?

Depends on:

Your experience level (can you slog through semi-
documented, fiddly share/free-ware?)
What kind of computer you are using (Mac PC, etc.?)
Your budget.

Devote several hours a week to studing the information on
http://www.videohelp.com/ and http://www.doom9.org/
Ask some additional follow-up questions as you start to
understand the landscape. The path you should follow
will gradually appear. No, I am not an eastern mystic! 🙂
but "knowledge is power".

I personally use Adobe Premiere 6.5 (www.adobe.com)
to edit video, and Premiere and Scenalyzer
(www.scenalyzer.com) to capture via generic firewire
and a Canopus ADVC-100 (www.canopus.com). external
converter box (or my DVCAM VCR) Then I use Adobe
Encore to create DVDs.

But there are many people here (and on the several DVD
newsgroups also) who use exclusively free-ware to do
all of this. Browsing through the groups.google.com
archives for this newsgroup (and the DVD ones) may
also give you some idea of what works for people in
similar circumstances and with similar expectations.

To make into Dvd-compliant mpeg-2, you can use Tmgpenc. To author the
resulting files as a Dvd with menus, you can use Tmgpenc DvdAuthor.
There are many other programs, but those are simple to use, very well
know, and good quality as well.
