There are many different authoring packages out there for dvd, vcd, and svcd. I have not purchased a dvd burner yet, and am learning a lot about them. Seems that there are a lot of opinions out there on what to buy. I am looking at dvdit! for the authoring. Does anyone know if the burned dvd's will work with the new dvd +rw and dvd +r drives and players? Same for Ulead DVD Movie Factory, EZCD 5, and Nero? Maybe there is a site out there that has this info in a table or something. I just want to make sure that if I spend the bucks on a dvd burner, it will work with the software out there, as well as the many dvd set tops. Also, is there an authoring package out there that will do it all - authoring, make menus, and burn dvd's for set top and pc dvd drives and author, make menus, and burn svcd's and vcd's for set top dvd players and pc dvd players and cd rom players?
