I would strongly recommend to use getdeb.net's version http://www.getdeb.net/app/QDVDAuthor sudo dpkg -i package.deb
This will install a fully functional version of QDVDAuthor. It seems that the older Ubuntu version was not correctly put together, thus the ERROR. Also the new version will let you use the FewClickWizard for basic DVD creation, which will let you create a whole DVD with a few mouse clicks, see also http://www.qtdvd.com/guides/FewClickWizard.html I hope that helps. Varol :) Ps. If not then you can simply click in an empty space in the SourceToolBar, which will bring back the basic file selection dialog instead of the new dialog.
