Q DVD-Author
Q DVD-Author is a video DVD creator and graphical frontend for dvdauthor. Users can add movie sources, make menus and submenus, and link menu buttons to videos or other menus before authoring a DVD. The project also lists photo slideshows, qslideshow, qplayer, qrender, and dvd-slideshow. Its legacy guide describes previewing an authored DVD with xine and gives a growisofs command for burning it. That guide requires MPEG-2 movie files as sources and names dvdauthor, mjpegtools, and ImageMagick++ as required tools. QDVDAuthor is available in Qt5 and Qt6, and the project links to Linux packages for Arch Linux, Debian, Mageia, OpenSUSE, and Ubuntu. Listed platforms are Linux, macOS, and Windows. The repository identifies the software as GPL-2.0 licensed, and its license text says it is distributed without warranty. The project names advanced end users as its intended audience. The listed plan, Q DVD-Author, costs nothing; there is no free trial.
