which program instead or maestro

[Bic]

A lot of these guides ( which there are so many and getting me more confused) use that maestro program. Being that I can't find it or it is no longer available, which program can I use instead?

It all depends on exactly waht capabilities/facilities you are looking for. The consumer level DVD authoring apps are a lot simpler to use than the pro ones like Maestro but are also much more limited in their capabilities. If you are ripping DVD's to DVD-r then you may well want to maintain the Ac3 audio. The only progs I know of that will import Ac3 are Spruce up and possible ULEAD DVD workshop. If you want motion menus, then ULEAD DVDWS again, or Dazzle DVD complete will do the job.

Hope this helps

Yes, this helps. Thankyou.
I'm teaching myself with a lot of help from everyone here.
