Creating Interactive DVDs

I'm hoping someone could get me started on this. I have an ASP.Net
website that collects information from users for my organization. I now
have a large SQL Server database that I'd like to convert to and create
an interactive DVD directory for my members that can be viewed from a
DVD player and television (as well as a PC). I guess this would
function just like an advanced DVD menu. I'd like this to have audio
and video in addition to simple data.

I consider myself an advanced developer of ASP.Net and winform
applications. I'd have no problem creating the directory in these two
environments. However, I have no idea about a DVD menu format
application. In fact, what development environment is often used to
create interactive DVDs? To further complicate this, I would definitely
like to be able to automate the creation of the DVD from my database.

Is there some software I should look at to get started? Any resources
on the Internet I should read?

Thanks for your time,

Jason

Video DVDs require that the content be contained in very specific
folder names and in a very specific format. You will either need to
research that somewhere (not sure where but Google would be a start) or
buy some DVD authoring software and see how it formats them. I
personally use DVD Builder that comes with the Easy Media Creator
product from Roxio.

Hi all, I'm not sure where else to post this, but this looks like the closest newsgroup fit. I just began watching some of the videocasts on the Tech-Ed 2007 DVDs and found that about half the wmv video files only contain audio.
