“DVD Authoring Recommendations”:http://www.sonicfoundry.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?MessageID=178662&Page=0. He also some good recommendations for DVD authoring and other tools. He likes the Ulead DVD MovieFactory for authoring simple DVDs. Having used the MyDVD that’s bundled with Nova’s Video Explosion (an OEM version of VideoFactory), I tend to agree!
