I basically have given up on doing nice looking dvd's under linux... I
keep hoping someone will release something nice, but till then I'll just be
using iDvd on my mbp :( Course that has it's own stupid issues. Like using
mpeg2's is a not allowed... wtf.
If you guys find something nice let plug know.
