E.P.K. question - IndieTalk

Working on an electronic press kit for my new feature, YOU ARE ALONE.

I'm lost as to how I can get clips, the trailer, as well as stills and bios, on the DVD in a nice format with a menu, and so forth. (The clips and trailers aren't the problem, it's getting jpegs and pdf files that is.)

I use Adobe Encore.

Can anyone help?

Or is this not going to work?

And if that's the case, what are the best presentation formats for E.P.K.s? (How best should I do this?)

Thanks!

What if you make hi-res images that contain the info that's in the pdf's and do like a slide-show kind of thing?

Can I include the slide show on the DVD with clips?

Just my two cents.. If you are submitting to festivals, they usually have their own formats for electronic press kits. If it's hard for the festivals to transfer your images and text into their catalog then it might not be worth it. But if this is a "calling card" DVD then that seems like a good approach. Personally I think the DVD menus and art should stand on its own, apart from the press kit.

I like the traditional press kits with glossy 8x10's, posters, etc.
