It seems that dvdstyler is suffering from bitrot and will soon go the way of GCDMaster... not broken, but no longer in the ubuntu repos.
I am not much of a video artist and don't really know what I am doing in this area so I am asking those of you who actually do videos to put on DVDs or know a bit about it to give some input.
devede is no longer a part of the ubuntu repos being old and suffering bitrot as well, but there is a rewrite called devedeng that is up to date and uses modern versions of GTK for example. While it is available from a PPA it does not seem to be in the debian or ubuntu repos. If it is any good getting it there would be a first step.
dvdauthor is in the repos but is CLI. still it is up to date and while we do include it, that is only because something else depends on it. I would suggest seeding it to keep it around.
Bombono has been suggested to me and is available in our repos. I have downloaded it and it does start :) I don't really know how to begin using it, but it does do menuing although there do not seem to be templates to make it easier for a newby (like me) to begin using it. For someone with more experience lack of templates may be a plus. I was able to put three videos in a project, add a menu and make a DVD file system. VLC seems to present me with (my very crude) menu and play whichever video I select.
