You may want to have a look at

Apply the unix "small is beautiful" maxim :)

Export the raw video from your NLE and use `devede` (professional) or
`qdvdauthor` (coltish). There's also videotrans, mandvd,... but all are
front-ends to mencoder/ffmpeg, dvdauthor, and mkisofs.

If you like the command-line, create a remaster.sh, the most simple
version would look like this:

  ffmpeg -i /path/to/input.avi -target pal-dvd /tmp/dvd.mpeg
  dvdauthor -o /tmp/dvd-project/ -x /tmp/dvdauthor.xml

with "/tmp/dvdauthor.xml" reading:
-----------8<---------------------
<dvdauthor>
    <vmgm />
    <titleset>
        <titles>
            <pgc>
                <vob file="/tmp/dvd.mpg" />
            </pgc>
        </titles>
    </titleset>
</dvdauthor>

You can preview a DVD image before burning it with `ogle`: a DVD player
with support for DVD menus.

That would be a good topic for the avidemux Wiki or Forum.
