TMPG, Inc., the company that makes digital video easy, today announced there are two sets of fun menu templates exclusively available at its website for DVD Author 3 owners. The menu templates are designed for wedding, golf, cartoons, history, 4th of July and Christmas-themed DVDs or DivX CDs and DVDs. The second set has two Asian themes, Butterfly and Samurai, as well as a pretty Viola Nights menu.

"We are planning on releasing more new menu templates in the months to come. It's our way of thanking loyal customers for their support," stated Kimi Matsuki, TMPG CEO. "Users appreciate the many great enhancements our TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX Authoring offers. These include HDV capture, DivX authoring, multiple subtitle streams, and the ability to import popular video formats for authoring to DVD or DivX. Of course, they can still cut-edit, create custom menus, and burn projects to a CD (DivX only) or DVD to show others."

The 4:3 or 16:9 formatted templates include Menu, Top Menu, Track Menu, and an Audio Page. The templates are ideal for either DVD or DivX CD or DVD applications.

With DivX authoring capability, DivX projects can now have great DVD-like menus and navigation. DivX projects made with TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 enjoy the ultimate combination of DVD-like presentation with DivX technology. Finished products may be played with DivX Player software on a PC, or on any DivX Certified DVD player and a television or compatible home theater system.

TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX Authoring improves format input, allowing inclusion of other types of source files. These include DVD-Video, DVD-VR, MPEG1/2, AVI, Windows Media, DivX, and QuickTime (mov, mp4, 3gp, 3g2) file formats.
