Custom Menu Images

Did you know that you could send us you own image to be used as the backgrounds of your menus? With the Enhanced DVD and Director's DVD you can upload an image directly to our servers that we will incorporate into your DVD.

The first step in uploading your graphic is to select one of the DVD Themes on the 'Menu Themes' tab in our DVD builder. We will use the text colors and positions of the selected theme that you pick with your custom background. Next click on the 'Browse' button to locate your custom graphic on your hard drive. Once you have found your custom image, click on the 'Open' button and then on the 'UpLoad!' button to send us your image. You will see an 'Upload Successful' page once your image is on our server.
