| Good DVD authoring software?
I'm looking for a full featured DVD authoring program. I'm using Roxio's Easy Media Creator 7 and Nero 6. I have found a few shortcomings with both of them, and while they may not seem like big problems, they irk me to no end. And it seems that neither progrma has ALL the functionality of the other. Here are a few of the things I want to be able to do:
1. Use anything as a button, not just a thumbnail...ANYTHING!
2. I want to have Chapter menus on a seperate page, not the main page.
3. I want to be able to have galleries of photos along with the DVD movie, like an "extras" section
4. I want to be able to have transitions between menus.
5. I want to have intro video that shows before the main menu.
6. I don't want to have to create VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders and what not, I want to drag and drop!
Now I know that the programs I have will do some of these things, but I want to be able to do them all. I don't mind paying a little extra for a decent program, though I'd prefer to have a demo to try. Any suggestions?

I don't care if it's free, as long as it does what I want it to do. | |

Adobe Encore DVD is the best I know on PC.
