First things first: when it comes to stuff like this, I'm an idiot through and through, no matter how tech-savvy I may think I am. So I have to ask you a question: How do you make the font work? I'm trying to make some custom titles for a season 2 disc or two, but I can't figure out how to put letters on the blank episode titles. I tried paint, but when I did that, they were far too small, and I couldn't do it right in the first place (mostly) because copy paste takes the white background.
Thanks I figured it out, though. You can't believe how long it took me to think to search Gen B. Guess that's the downside of staying up until four making DVDs for your friends...
Note to my bronies: if you can't afford gen B, use Celestia Medium Redux. It's not perfect, but it works well enough, as far as knockoffs go. And if you want to make it cool, add some vectors to the blank titles, colorize the titles to fit the episode, and use cool fan-made backgrounds! Mix it up!
Also, would you consider making your other resources like the Part 1 and Part 2 buttons available, as well as your backgrounds? I'm getting some really high storage DVDs so that I can put 9-10 episodes on one disk and I want to make everything as close to yours as possible.
Note that the Custom DVD Menu Kit (add "pony" to that and Google it to find the kit's torrent) has all the titles on transparencies so you can find the backgrounds (also easily looked up in Google Images) or add different ones you prefer if you want a different number of episodes per disc. Five discs equals minimal compression (only the first disc runs over standard DVD-R capacity). Of course you will need a graphics program for this; GIMP is an excellent freeware alternative to Photoshop.
This is great, my fellow brony! I will definitely make my own first season of the show, but I'd like to ask you if you possibly have some LightScribe-compatible image file available so that we could etch some art into the discs we later create? I'd definitely love going as officially official as I possibly can if I make them, so if they do exist, I would jump with joy!
@simon4815 Everything I have was provided in the DVD kit. Sorry, I have no Lightscribe images to share, so you'll either have to find one elsewhere, or make it yourself.
How did I get here from Aqua Teen Hunger Force?
I guess it's true - all roads lead to ponies.

@Bashfluff You need to download the Generation B font and install it.
