Menu and Menu buttons

I want to create a menu with buttons to locate and go to sections of video.
Can I do this with the video itself before rendering and printing to DVD?
Is this something that has to be done in a DVD programme?
Is there a video tutorial for this?
Lots of questions but I've searched and can't find any answers.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, that is part of what video editing is all about. VideoStudio can do this quite easily. Click on the Tutorials link below my signature to search.

Thanks Blacklab.,
I had been directed to various tutorials previously but hadn't had much success with them. They all seemed to lead to free tutorials and then offered them at various prices! However, having eventually found the video from your instruction, I found that customising didn't allow me to add extra buttons and saving the template when completed into the template library did not seem possible. ie. there was no 'save' button. I did save one at one stage but have no idea how and wasn't able to repeat it. I also found that double clicking, as was stated on a pop up dialogue box to change text etc. using a template, didn't seem to work.
Your suggestions would be appreciated

There was no need to post your entire question all over again... Just a request for further assistance would have sufficed...

That being said, you could not have looked far in the Tutorials sections of this Board to which Black Lab referred you. The top sticky on the tutorials forum is by Steve Jones and called 'From Camcorder to DVD' and is a lengthy, written -- and FREE -- tutorial on all the important steps, and illustrated with lots of pictures to make it easy. It includes a section on making Chapters which you can find at http://phpbb.ulead.com.tw/EN/viewtopic. ... 9591#69591

My apologies Ken.,
I didn't realise I had sent that twice. I thought that the first time it had not posted properly as there was no reply.
