InDesign is excellent for the printed material, but almost wholly useless for DVD menus. What you want is a DVD authoring tool. There are quite a few around, most of which have flexible titling and menuing functions. Some very limited packages only work with a canned menu; others have some support for user-created menus and titles; others are full-function design and layout tools for those purposes. I find that Adobe Encore handles most of my needs, but you may be looking for a less expensive alternative. (Encore is about $200 with an academic license, if I remember rightly.) A general web search for "DVD Authoring" should turn up a selection of tools in all price ranges and with a spectrum of capabilities.
