I've been writing a DVD authoring GUI as an extension to a photograph management program I started something over a year ago. I've produced a number of satisfactory DVDs with it and would welcome anyone able and willing to give it a try. The program is open source (but no project is yet set up on SourceForge etc) and written in Java. Although the whole thing is cross-platform, the DVD authoring module requires the usual command-line tools - spumux, dvdauthor, growisofs etc - so is limited to Linux unless all these are available on Windows (as if I care). Please visit

and feel free to post here or mail me at gt@onepost.net with any comments or requests for help. I guess I'm occupying much the same space as QDVDAuthor and Varsha; I only started the exercise because neither did what I needed.
[Note: Mediacity is a Java Web Start program. On some systems it'll run from its web page, but if not, install Java 1.5 then type
<Java Install Directory>/bin/javaws http://www.eclecity.net/mediacity.jnlp
The program should fire up right away.]
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

Great! I'm going to install it on my slackware install now! I really like GUI for DVD Author for win32, unfortunately I can't get it to work correctly in wine. I haven't been a big fan of Varsha, QDdvdAuthor, or DVD Styler in linux. I'm happy to see another gui out there!

If you have any questions or would like to try it please get in touch. I haven't done much development since I moved a few months ago to a mountain village in Italy where there's no broadband internet, but if there are users keen to see improvements I'll always consider them. -
I find dvdauthor doesn't like VOBs ripped off a DVD. I don't know why; I always assumed they were regular MPEGs but with extra audio tracks and subtitles. The most recent version of dvdauthor I have - now over six months old - just barfs at them. When broadband finally arrives at this backwater I'll try a more recent build.
Not 60 for another year - I chose the name in anticipation
