I want to make a menu for my DVD Im putting together. Im putting a DVD together (slideshow) with some video of a loved one that passed away. So I want to make a menu when yuo put the DVD in, you can click on what slide you want to play...
Almost like when you put a regular DVD in and you get to choose PLAY, SPECIAL FEATURES, Etc. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
(Im using WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER)

You are trying to create DVD Menus, and the process is called "DVD authoring".
There are free software that'll do what you want, but it's not as simple as drag and drop. DVD Styler will do it, but it needs you the create the art and effects, and link to existing (already DVD-spec) videos (which MovieMaker files are NOT!)
If you want stuff to that that easy, you'll need to pay for some professional software, such as Sony Vegas for video editing, and DVD Architect for actually authoring the DVD.
I suggest videohelp.com and its forum for further assistance.

A few good softwares for you to consider would be DVD authoring softwares like Ulead DVD Movie Factory and Sonic DVDit. However, they are a bit pricey and you'll need at least 1GB of RAM on your computer / laptop to run them smoothly.. Nero is affordable but doesn't offer alot of flexibility in design; i.e. you'll probably be stuck with a few fixed layout for your menus that make them look boring after your third DVD.

Use Nero. Theres options in the program to create you own DVD menu. Put a picture for the background, create buttons, ect.

Save your movie to a DVD
Part of the tradition of home moviemaking is gathering the family around the TV to watch the movie. You don’t have to give up that tradition when you make the switch to digital video. You can save a Windows Movie Maker project to a high-quality video file, and then burn (or write) that file to a DVD using a DVD burner and video DVD burning program. You can then watch the DVD in almost any standard DVD player. DVDs are a great way to share movies with friends and family, and they make great gifts.
To save your movie to a DVD:
1. Save your movie to your computer.
2. Burn the file to a DVD. Save your movie to your computer
To save your movie in the ideal video format for burning to a DVD
1. Open your project in Movie Maker.
2. In the Movie Tasks pane, under Finish Movie, click Save to my computer.
3. The Save Movie Wizard opens. On the Saved Movie File page, type a name for your movie. You can also choose a folder to save it in by clicking the Browse button, but My Videos (the default) is usually the best place. Then click Next.

You can't make a DVD menu using windows movie maker. You will need other software. Try "DVD Architect". Its like windows movie maker on steroids.
