Aargh.  Following this thread, I downloaded Varsha and as a kick also
did qDVDauthor.  This weekend I tried to make a two title DVD from video
taken on a trip to the glacier.  Varsha and qDVDauthor made pretty menus
- the problem being that they didn't work!  You could click to your
heart's content and never get anywhere.  I had tried them earlier with
single title DVDs and didn't notice a problem.  Could be user error.
Looking at the xml files left behind I could see Varsha's was sparse and
probably wouldn't work.  qDVDauthor's xml just references the menu it
builds, so I couldn't really dig into that.

But DVDStyler worked very well with the two title DVD - fist time go.

Process was to import DV and edit with Kino, save the DVD formatted MPEG
files, then build the filesystem/iso with the frontend tools.  The
documentation on all of these tools is a bit weak - probably to be
expected on alpha quality stuff like this.

For right now I'm a DVDStyler kind of guy.
