making menus in Movie Maker?

Is there a way to make different "menus" on a DVD?
For example, I want to split my Home Video into 5 "sections" so I can
advance quickly to a birthday or xmas or whatever.
When you put the DVD in the player, it will show you the menu options at
start up.

Thanks in advance.

You need a DVD authoring program. Moviemaker 2.1 doesn't have this
capability. Your DVD-RW drive likely came with some software that can
do this. I am a newbie but have done one DVD menu with a program called
WinDVD creator that came with my drive. I think Microsoft recommends a
program called MyDVD by Sonic which is supposed to be good at this
also. I think there are a couple of freeware programs that can do what
you want as well, although I haven't had a chance to find or experiment
with them yet.
