Version history:
0.7.0: 2010 October 23
Reworked subtitle file reading so it can now deal with encodings like UTF-16
Default encoding for subtitle files is no longer ISO-8859-1, but taken from
user's locale
Add fontconfig support following a patch by Nicolas George
Remove dvdauthor config files and make command line -o option take precedence over
XML dest attribute.
Video format no longer has hard-coded default to NTSC, unless you invoke configure
with --enable-default-video-format=NTSC. You can also configure with
--enable-default-video-format=PAL to default to PAL.
Implement configuration of default video format as per the proposal at
<http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Video_Format_Pref>.
File names are no longer converted to locale encoding, unless you invoke configure
with --enable-localize-filenames.
You can now specify fill and outline colours and outline thickness for text subtitles.
Colours can be specified in additional ways, including by name and in HSV space.
You can now also specify a shadow offset and colour for text subtitles
Allow non-title PGCs in a titleset
The VM language now allows C-style comments, as well as CDATA sections
Add --nomux and --nodvdauthor-data options to spumux (thanks to TED for sponsoring this)

I'd like to try this new release with DVDAuthorGui. Where's the Windows binary? afaics this is just Linux source with make files.

Ease of use 1 of 10 Functionality 1 of 10 Value for money 1 of 10 Overall score 1 of 10






Couldn't get it to work with any capture/camcorder files I have -it kept on yelling about no location data and other things that don't bother other author programs.

The only dvd-authoring tool you need. Before you disagree, think of another tool that can author a DVD with:

- menus with audio and video in the background
- mixed aspect ratios, mixed NTSC and PAL
- multiple, correctly named soundtracks and subtitles
- non-standart source files (like SVCD video streams)

Now think of one that can do all of this for free.

For Windows, I am using it together with DVDauthorGUI. Unfortunately, it currently does not offer interface to the full functionality of dvdauthor.
