iDVD on the Mac. Although there's something quite weird...

Macs can play DVDs out of the box. iDVD can create DVDs, transcoding from 
whatever format the video is into MPEG2.

Yet Quicktime cannot play MPEG2 files, and iDVD can't create a DVD from a 
video that is already in in the correct MPEG2 format, without buying a $20 
Quicktime component for MPEG2 decoding. WTF?


So I created the damned DVD using the simplest dvdauthor config file 
possible:

<dvdauthor>
  <vmgm />
  <titleset>
    <titles>
      <pgc>
        <vob file="video.MPG" />
      </pgc>
    </titles>
  </titleset>
</dvdauthor>

[cue Darren's rants about XML]

dvdauthor can create menus too, and there are many GUI frontends for it.
