2. What software can I use to author a DVD?

There are many different programs for DVD authoring, ranging from the professional tools costing thousands of dollars that commercial discs are created with to simple tools available for free that may only create a single set of VOB files for a single title. Some authoring software includes editing, burning, or encoding features while others are only capable authoring. This is a sampling of what's available:
