user4199: I thought there would be 100 and 1 good solutions for this but so far I have not found something that could all of the following:

Create a DVD-player DVD
Have a menu with options
Have images & Video
prefrably handle .mod

Basically I am trying to put a bunch of photos and videos from our wedding & honeymoon on and older-relative friendly DVD. So it must be able to be playable in a normal dvd player so therefore it must be able to show a menu with categories.
Anyone got good recommendations for this? Everything I come across is either a completely generic menu or frankly broken!

user2836: Adobe Encore can do what you are looking for.  It is included with Adobe Premiere.  You can either buy a copy of CS6 or if you only need it for the one project, you can use Creative Cloud to obtain it for just a month or two.
In general, you will find most DVD authoring software comes in fairly expensive packages.  It's not as easy as you would think to do and not a lot of software does it.  The options now are cheap in comparison to how much it used to cost.  When I first did DVD authoring, it cost $2500 to get DVD authoring software that crashed every 15 minutes or so.
