DVDStyler vs Yuhan DVD Creator

DVDStyler is a DVD authoring application for creating video discs with menus designed for playback on standalone DVD players. Start with a template or build a menu by arranging buttons, text, images, and other objects. The software can make photo slideshows and add multiple subtitle and audio tracks. It supports formats including AVI, MOV, MP4, MPEG, OGG, WMV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, Xvid, MP2, MP3, and AC-3, among others. MPEG and VOB files can be used without re-encoding, and files with different audio or video formats can be placed on one DVD. The interface supports drag-and-drop, and menus use scalable vector graphics. DVDStyler runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and is distributed under the GNU General Public License. The listed macOS installer requires OS X 10.15 Catalina or later. The application is free, with no free trial listed.
