Been a while since I've done it, but mencoder (the encoding utility part of mplayer) from the command line works very well. Check sites like these

http://wiki.clug.org.za/wiki/Making_DVD/SVCD/VCD's_under_Linux

(You'll have to copy and paste that first link--can't get it to work normally.)

http://web.njit.edu/all_topics/Prog_Lang_Docs/html/mplayer/encoding.html

or google for info. The commands can be long but you might find you can just copy and paste them with minor edits. There's also a list of packages for dvd creation here:

Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the list.

I use DeVeDe, too, though it's not in the blag repos. Maybe this could be put in the repo for blag 80k?

I can't install dvdstyler. It says it depends on xine, which it won't let me install. I'm using blag 70k. There's some foul up, it seems with xine, xine-libs, and xine-lib-moles:

I added devede to the repo. Should be apt/yumable within 24 hours. Let me know if all the deps aren't there.

In general, http://www.osalt.com/ seems a good resource for Open Source alternatives to Windoze applications.
