Great tool, I've been looking for some time for app to add some nice menus for home-made Dvd's and this works perfectly. A lot better then other ones I have tried, most are not flexible enough or have a long learning curve. The only thing that would have made it perfect, is being able to add a sound-track to the menu.

But can't complain as it's free and very easy to use ( not sure about someone saying you could only choose from 12 backgrounds ) simple drop and drag options. Hope other Apps start to use it like it is used within DIKO.

The idea in itself is great! For the first time one is not limited to 2-3-4 items on a DVD menu. It takes a bit of either detective work and a few hit-or-miss attempts to figure out how it works. The problem is the output. I tried to build a DVD with one main menu with links to 20 mpg2 videos, about 1-min long each.

Well, the program filled my hard disk with 30 GB (sic!), and then hung due to lack of disk space. It was only some 10% of the way then, so I figure I'll need a 500 GB disk to make a DVD lasting less than half an hour with it.

I tried it from scratch twice, with the same result.

Please completely ignore the previous comment about this program. It hurts the open source software movement when ignorant users criticize programs without even understanding them AND insult the authors who have done this with their free time. The GUI interface is at first somewhat confusing, but more than adequate to create a basic DVD menu with buttons and background image. Overall a great tool and one of the only option for free opensource DVD menu creation.

this is bullshit. lacks even the basic things needed. You have a choice of like 12 backgrounds and 1 button graphics. you can't choose your own backgrounds or buttons or anything. Maybe you can, but this will require reading the manual and looking at website to try to figure it out. easier just to give up and goto the next program, as a program should be self-explanatory and everything should be under the finger tips..

there should be a "choose your own background" option, there should be a "more buttons" option... everything.. I dont know how to do anything because there's no options, no buttons, no hints, no nothing.. just lookiing at a blank screen trying to figure out, based on nothing, how this works..

stupid author should have spent more then 5 minutes coding this priogram

I've used several of the GUIs for DVDauthor and I like this one the best. It has worked for me where others have failed and it is very easy to use. It is not fancy but handles menus nicely. DIKO (for AVI files) has started using it to create its menus which makes for a very nice compination.

once you open dvdstyler up, you have 3 tabs - documents (to import your clips), backgrounds and buttons. Thats all you mess with. Very easy to use. Good for someone who wants a basic menu. I found that functions was limited however, customising things was limited. For example, the menu i made, i was only allowed to make buttons to point to each clip. But it would not allow me to make a "play all button".

This program is awesome, quick, clean and functional interface. I was up and burning DVD's in very little time that worked perfectly on my DVD player.

Great app. Simple and easy enough to use.

If you need something that will give you a basic menu to your DVD, this is the answer. Supports pre and post commands, which is a bonus.

Once you create your menu, add your titles, with the press of one button, DVD Styler will author, mux, preview, create an ISO, then finally burn your DVD for you.

Very nice, and easy to use. Didn't find the option to set the chapter lengths, thats why its a 9, otherwise it would be a 10. Great work!!

I give this a 10 overall. It has worked exceptionally well for me. I had some DVD compliant Mpegs and was able to make an ISO file in no time at all using this proggy. I simply burned the ISO with DVD Decrypter and the result was excellent. I had also captured some video that resulted in an ISO file that was about 6 GB. Hey, no problem, I used DVD Shrink to shrink it to fit on a DVD and once again I had great results. I haven't tried the new version (1.1) but I'm sure it will work just as good, if not better.
