What I should use for DVD menus, I'm firmly convinced, is anything other than TeX :-)
(Not that I picked TeX in the first place because I thought it would be good for this job. I used TeX for the menus in my fractal DVD because it was essentially a mathematical project, so I thought it would be appropriate for it to look like a maths paper. Hence, the inlay, the menus, the titles and the credits were all typeset in Computer Modern using TeX. Never again.)

The dvdauthor docs are a bit awful, aren't they? But it's basically developed by one guy with occasional patches from others (a few from me).
You should of course use VideoLink (http://womble.decadent.org.uk/software/videolink/) to make DVD menus in future.
