  1. This doesn't help you, but I never had the crashing issue with DVDA,

    Like sharc, I didn't like that it's muxer had problems with higher bitrate x264 streams, also I didn't like the GUI which looked like something from the 90's , and it didn't have some features like popup menus. I preferred Encore for for consumer BD authoring

    Back then , another freeware was multiavchd - it works ok, there are tutorials/guides - and can make decent output, semi fancy menus.

    EasyBD Studio Lite is the freeware version, and it's very limited, but the muxing engine is good and will pass strict verifiers

    Today, maybe TMPGenc Authoring Works, but I've never used it

    I'm not liking mitlavchd, but do appreciate the tip about the file extension bs.

    I find it funny your dislike of the 90s gui of DVD Architect. Not sure how that's a bad thing - it's way more intuitive and functional than what multiavchd opens to. But, to each their own.

    I'll have to check out Encore.

  3. DVD Architect was quite unique, they went their own way to design a DVD for users. Most menu authoring software kind of follow set consensus made by DVD Maestro, then successor DVD Lab Pro.
    So if you started with Architect you'd kind of hate the rest and vice versa.

  4. I loved DVD Lab Pro, wish I could find a blu-ray version of that.

    I was having no problems or dislike of DVD Architect until it started crashing.

    They both seem to have a logic to simply importing content, laying out a menu, authoring how it works, and making a disc.

    Nothing else seems to come close to the level of functionality of that. I'm not sure that current programmers have any concept of functionality anymore.
