Create DVDs out of MPEG files with NTSC or PAL menus.
DVDStyler Portable is a cross-platform free DVD authoring application for the creation of professional-looking DVDs. It allows not only burning of video files on DVD that can be played practically on any standalone DVD player, but also creation of individually designed DVD menus.

Pros
very good output. much easier to use than many others. interface is so simple you think there should be more to it but it does what you need in a simple way. worked perrfectly first time on XP.
Cons
lacks special effectrs like cross fade, disolve, zoom .. but these things are often overrused anyhow and just ad a bit more life to some work . as good as this program is i would expect some special effects before long ..
Summary
the ease of use stands out for this program ... i used nero8 for hundreds of home movie compilations but still find it connfusing .. nero does do a lot but was hard to learn and retain that learning for the next time ... i was shocked when i first used DVDstyler .. it took me far less time to put things together and it did the things i needed in an intuitive way .. i didnt even have to read the instructions except for a couple little things that were quickly clearned up.. i can recommend this to anyone that doesnt want to spend weeks learning a complex program. .. a very nice, well done little program, much more than you would expect for free . someone did a very nice job on this.
good luck using it

Cons
couldn't get past square one
Summary
Creating a DVD for home use is pretty worthless if you can't make it easy for friends to watch it. In order to create the opening menu that tells a viewer what is on the DVD you need to right click on "menu editor." Fine - except that there is no "menu editor" in sight. Not in any visible button; not in any drop-down menu; the help file does not tell where to find it. Perhaps after an hour of searching it might have turned up, but in that hour I can download several other DVD makers and try them. And since I won't make a DVD without a menu I'm going to try another program. I honestly can not think of a reason to use this - unless and until the programmers fix this basic oversight..
