Menu for MP4 DVD

[wayfarer]

Hi techsavvy peoples!

So I have these MP4 files that I want burn to a DVD, but I do not want to convert them to DVD format, as most DVD players support MP4, and the format is nice and small. I want to leave them as is. I have done this many times before, and the only drawback is that there is no user-friendly menu system. I have to rely on the DVD Player's stupid navigation interface.

So slimkoppe techies, what software can I use to make my disk behave like an actual DVD, i.e. after inserting the disc, a custom menu loads, from which I can play the MP4 files? Also, what to you recommend I use to combine multiple MP4 files that make up a single title?

I know you can author DVD's and menu's with Nero.

I use ConvertX to DVD. It works really well and is faster than Nero.

I have already tried the top two. Dvdstyler is quite cool and easy to use, but both apps first convert the MP4 files to the much larger DVD format. The bottom linked process isn't really appropriate in my context.

I just want a menu for my MP4 files, playable on an MP4 supported DVD player.

AFAIK you can only do that with a dvd played in a pc by creating an interactive dvd.

However,you can use dvd@ccess from Apple,works on windows too.
It is usually used to link to online urls but you can setup local ones too.It'll work on the pc but you can try it on a dvd player.
