I have a friend who uses an older handi-cam, palmcorder (whatever it is called) and records the video on DVD mini-disc. She would like to compile all of the mini discs into one regular DVD and send to relatives. The recorded medium on the disc is video.ts.
My question what is the better/best authoring DVD software for her to compile/edit/create a single regular size DVD for her collection of these mini DVD's?
thanks

I like to use TMPGenc DVD Author to do that. It's not free, but it works very well, doesn't re-encode anything, has basic editing and pretty advanced menu creation abilities (though it's not very obvious). The latest version is called TMPGEnc Authoring Works, it's a bit pricey and for the same money you can get Sony Movie Studio or Premiere Element. Both are more capable editors, but I'm not sure about the re-encoding bit. Actually all your friend wants to do is author a DVD from several other DVD's, so the ability to edit might not be that important. In this case DVDAuthorgui would be fine, it's free and here's a guide for it. These are the most popular programs, there are other options.

My friend added a new twist, she wants to incorporate some pictures as well into the final product! So the software I'm looking for (she needs) will need to be able to assimilate DVD video.ts and pictures, (mpg, GIF, etc.) for the final DVD creation!

TMPGEnc Authoring Works will do what you want as nic2k4 has already posted.It's the easiest but you gotta buy it,you can use the trial version first to see if it fits the bill.
I think,therefore i am a hamster. -
If we're talking about a slideshow she can use DVD slideshow GUI to generate DVD files that she can add along with the camcorder footage. The program is also free, but as with most freeware the level of complexity and hoop jumping increases every time you try to do more than basic things. If this is not a one time job TMPGEnc Authoring Works is worth the expense.

one question nic2k4 the DVD slideshow GUI will that proggie incorporate video/ts clips along with the pics?
-
No, all it does is turn a series of pictures into a slideshow and output ready to burn DVD files. She would then add that slideshow to the rest of her camcorder footage in DVDauthorGUI.
