It has a GUI which is a little buggy if I remember but works. For much of my tovid days I used the command line tools, and migrated to the GUI towards the end. You can do quite a lot with it -- all you mentioned and more. You can get quite sophisticated with the DVD menus and so on if you've got the patience. Back in the day it was supported by a chap who went by the pseudonym "grepper", who was extremely helpful. I don't know if he's still supporting the tool or not. He was looking for someone to hand it over to back in the day, dunno if he ever found someone. tovid did a way better job than anything else I tried of transcoding video for my most common usecase -- that of adjusting the TV format from PAL to NTSC. I needed to do this because my British relatives had a habit of buying DVDs for my kids in the UK, and we lived in Japan. Back in those days dual-TV-format DVD players were a rarity. Check out tovid and if grepper is still supporting it, tell him I said hi! Mark

I already use brassero, to make data disks, and sometimes install cd's for Linux, however devede looks like what I am also looking for.
