I went from DVDSP to Encore (about 2 years ago) and have never looked back - but it plays a lot nicer with PSD files. DVD authoring is a pain at best and there are new hiccups to learn in Encore but it much better than DVDSP. One thing that threw me for a bit was that when previewing in Encore when you went from a movie before a menu to the menu there would be a black flash - however when I made the DVD or iso it wasn't there.

Yes, I'm not crazy about learning Encore just to deal with this issue. But to pursue it a bit further, can I import a flat PSD file and overlay into Encore and get to where I'm going?
Thanks for the advice, too. I may be reduced to giving it a try.
