DVDComposer

If there's a little Alfred Hitchcock in all of us, DVDComposer is one of the tools that will help let him out. The software is a simple tool for creating DVDs, aimed at home-computer users who have no desire to lose themselves in the details of video-file formats and menu structures. It uses a series of wizards and templates to create slick-looking DVDs with animated menus, multiple tracks, and easy navigation. It's too limited for full-blown professional projects, and can't go much beyond the templates offered by the software's developers, but we were surprised by how easy it was to author a complex DVD. We recommend this program for home filmmakers looking for a fast, simple way to move their digital work to disc.
