The best choices are Scenarist and Maestro. i personally use scenarist. If you wish to learn then there are detailed guides available by doom9 as always.

I just use Spruce Up. It handles dolby 5.1. I want to do DTS, though. Where do you get scenarist? Is it really thousands of dollars?

Maestro 2.9 will import DTS

Yup. Rather ridiculous, if you ask me.

I'm sorely tempted to write an authoring app myself, and opensource the damn thing. Unfortunately, there is an NDA attached to the **$50,000** fee you pay to use the DVD specification. Bunch'a F***'in BS.

Sorry. Pet peeve.

But if in a year's time or so, there's a new, full-featured DVD authoring application written in Java (so as to be cross-plaform) for the low low price of $500, from a company you've never heard of, assume it's me. It probably will be, or someone I convinced. :D
