I've been a regular user of TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.x almost since its inception. One quirk of that program that irritated me was its inability to make 16x9 menus -- even if ALL your clips were 16x9, TDA's menus were still all 4x3. I was quite happy to see that would be rectified in TDA 2.0 until I saw the price to upgrade.
So I started looking at alternatives. Let's see... GUI for DVDauthor does everything TDA 1.x used to do, plus 16x9 menus, and it's ridiculously easy to use... and it's free???? I'm there.
I haven't even begun to look at some of its more advanced features... chapter editing, subtitle menus....
Granted, it doesn't convert your audio files to ac3 on the fly like TDA 2.x does, but then I came from TDA 1.x which required an external plugin for that. Use Belight (also free) to create your ac3 files beforehand and you won't miss TDA at all. GUI for DVDauthor rules!
