Interface for WMV files?

[bsquared18]

I have some WMV video files that I'd like to put on a DVD disc. Instead of having the user open the disc in Windows Explorer and click on a file name, I'd like something a bit more professional looking; namely, an interface that auto-opens when the disc is inserted, showing buttons with file topics. The user would then click on a button to start that WMV video operating in Windows Media Player (or some other player). When the video ends or is aborted, the program would revert to the interface.

Does something like this exist, and, if so, could someone suggest the product name or names?

Thanks!
Bill

Thanks for the suggestions.

These ideas, however, cover only half my problem--the autorun half.

I'd also like an suggestions on the interface itself. Does such a thing exist on the market, or will I need to develop my own, using Flash, JavaScript, etc.?

Thanks!
Bill

With NERO you can recode Videos to DVD format, thus allowing the use of MENUs and Chaptering, and with an installed DVD player software (WMP, VLC, MPC, PowerDVD, and WinDVD just to name a few) you can then play them at a click of the button...
