Just purchased Movie Studio and everything is great but one thing, cant seem to find the 40 themed dvd menu templates. I saw a slideshow a friend had that had an animated dvd menu just like a real movie, just curious if this was possible with this software or is there a better software to transfer the slideshow into.The dvd he had has a picture of the inside of a car looking out going down the road and the car is moving down the road. It has a rearview mirror with pictures of the people in the video slideshow, it was pretty awsome. Thanks in advance for the help!

The DVD part of "Movie Studio" is actually a separate application called MyDVD, which is bundled with Movie Studio. So to find the templates you need to install and run MyDVD.

Movie Studio is a great editing application. Unfortunatly, MyDVD is not one of the better DVD authoring applications. It does have templates, it does NOT support having separate chapters. I'm not sure how much it can do on the animated menu side. ((I tried it, but gave up when I found that it doesn't support setting chapter points).

Give MyDVD a try, but it looks to me like you are looking for a more powerful DVD authoring package... look at DVD-Lab as one possibility.
