Free DVD authoring application to create professional-looking DVDs.

DVDStyler is a pretty interesting program which allows you to create DVD movies complete with menus, chapters and more. Though its easy-to-use, it doesn't really have too many options to really make an impressive, professional DVD movie and it also lacks a preview feature.

With that said, it is perfectly acceptable as a DVD authoring application for those wishing to archive family movies complete with chapters and menus. You can customize DVDs with background images.

DVDStyler provides a familiar user interface with is not only fast, but not very complicated to use. It also includes a variety of built-in graphics and buttons which you are free to use in your authoring efforts.

Once you're done creating your DVD movie, you should use a separate burning application to actually burn the image to a disc; there are a ton of other freeware options for that!

All-in-all, the software is an easy and free way to create basic DVD movies.
