Comments and Reviews
I finally found the Open source program to create DVD menus. Exactly what I wanted.
Ive always used ConvertX to creat and merge videos to play on dvd. I tried DVD styler and When the dvd was complete the resolution and quality of the video went down. I knw the video is good quailty because i used convertx and it came out fine. I like dvd stylers menu editing capapilities and would like to create a dvd with this program but the quality is a big deal. I used the 6000mb/s and it still didnt look good. Any suggestions on making a good quality dvd?
Use ffmpeg to convert your videos to MPEG2 before importing them into DVDStyler. That way, DVDStyler won't attempt to convert. If you are not familiar with ffmpeg, you can use WinFF which is an easy to use GUI front-end for it.

Great UI (imo), detailed documentation, and a great frontend to staple *nix dvd-authoring tools. Can't go wrong with DVDstyler
