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.
