Looks good :) and not so hard to use I'll give it a try.

Thanks for this GUI VMesquita this looks like a good Menu buider for DVDAuthor.

I think I will also give it a try. :)

When I try to create an iso dvd image with DVD Styler, I get this error:

16:28:28: Execution of command 'C:\COMMAND.COM /c "jpeg2yuv -n 1 -I t -L 1 -f 25 -j "G:\temp\menu1.mpg_background.jpg" | mpeg2enc -f 8 -o "G:\temp\menu1.mpg_background.m2v" "' failed (error 31: a device attached to the system is not functioning.)
16:28:28: Error executing of command: "jpeg2yuv -n 1 -I t -L 1 -f 25 -j "G:\temp\menu1.mpg_background.jpg" | mpeg2enc -f 8 -o "G:\temp\menu1.mpg_background.m2v" "
16:28:28: Error converting jpeg to mpg...


Does anyone know an easy place to get a Windows jpeg2yuv build (since it seems missing)?

Hmm.. jpeg2yuv is supplied, only it isn't in the (dos/system) path... Ok so it needs to be in the DOS path to work..

It still didn't work, after a reboot, so I tried dvdauthorgui, which had another problem on my pc (automation error). I had to install Windows Scripting Host 5.6 (I don't have this since I don't have IE6).

I got dvdauthorgui to work and I authored my DVD (dv footage). I first used nero 6 to burn the iso it created but that was a coaster since it would not work on anything.

Then I burnt my DVD using Nero 6 (using the files) however the result works on a PC but not on my DVD player. My player plays a normal one-layer DVD-R created in iso mode by dvd decryptor so I don't know what's wrong.

Any ideas?
