I think a lot of people get confused about burning, and composing a dvd. Once a dvd, or image of a dvd is done then burning it with your gui is not a problem. I do agree that in order to get an image, or a composite of a dvd is the hard part. Since a lot of people are used to the way windows handles dvds they assume that all they have to do is click a button, and their dvd will be ready for burning. So people confuse burning with composing, under Gnu/Linux its more of a process as most people know who read this list. If anyone has used dvdauthor will know that it can be tricky. Not to mention that to get the same functionality you will need non DFSG programs such as mencoder, transcode and the infamous decss. Then we will have the upcoming DRM, and format wars that are upon us. I do not see a very easy solution for composing a DVD for a while, even under Windows and the DRM, Trusted Computing, the days of simplicity may be over. It might be a long process to exercise your rights of fair use in the USA. But if your interested in a Linux guide of how to compose and make a dvd then this might be of interest to all those who follow this thread. http://www.bunkus.org/dvdripping4linux/en/single/index.html http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ I at least found the links above to be very useful!
