Adding Menu Templates In MovieFactory 6, How ?

[Coral]

I hardly ever used DMF (DVD Workshop is my favourite) but having some free time on my hands I planed to give it a try.
I still can't figure out how to add menu templates produced in PhotoImpact. With DVD Workshop it's child's play !

You save them in the appropriate folders below:
C:\Program Files\Ulead Systems\Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6\Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6\Content\Menu Template

Thanks for your help. However this is the path where they infact should be:
C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\Ulead DVD MovieFactory\6.0\Favorites\4x3\Favorites
or
C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\Ulead DVD MovieFactory\6.0\Favorites\16x9\Favorites

You are confusing the location of the Templates (Where I have pointed to)
To the Libraries (Where you have pointed to.)

When I place the templates in this location:
C:\Program Files\Ulead Systems\Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6\Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6\Content\Menu Template
they will not show up at all.

DVD Menu Maker in PhotoImpact will save them directly to:
C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\Ulead DVD MovieFactory\6.0\Favorites\4x3\Favorites
when using the 4th menu (4. Export) and from the bottom right drop down menu, choosing Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6
Naturally, by placeing my menu templates in the above location, they will also show up within the favorites group.

Sorry, this message for steve. I'm considering getting a Dell D620 for video editing and it has similar stats to what your computer has, particularly in terms of graphics:

1.66Ghz/1GB/60GB/DVD/XPP Notebook
Integrated graphics (Intel Media Accelerator 950: Up to 224MB shared (64 dedicated)
Core 2 Duo Processor

Been editing with Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Pro v12 but considering Adobe Premiere 6.5

Do you think that laptop could cut it?

Thanks and sorry to barge in with a tangent. Great forum.

1GB RAM is a bit thin - I would upgrade to the maximum allowed by that particular laptop.
60GB Hard drive is a bit small - you will lose quite a lot of that to the operating system and whatever software you install, you would need to consider an external USB hard drive.

The computer itself is powerful enough to deal with standard definition video but if you want to delve into High Definition (or AVCHD) then you would need something a bit more powerful otherwise It would still work but would be laboriously slow.
