I've been looking for DVD authoring software for months and came upon DVDFlick, it's pretty damn good and it's GPL. I've been transferring all my home videos to DVD and finally I can make use of my DVD drive. DVD-Rs are super cheap now and now I can put all my home movies on DVD and send to relatives. Woot!
I'm also impressed on how much I can fit on a single-layer DVD and still keep acceptable quality. And to think I was using VHS for all these years.
the only sucky parts right now is the audio. it's normalizing it and I don't like it. The video also can jerk around on scene changes(when I copied a movie), but this is rare. I was told this was a problem with ffmpeg and nothing I can do about it, but I doubt it's unfixable.-
Neat, I wrote DVD Flick.
The stuttering is something I never figured out. If you want archival-quality DVDs of your VHS movies, DVD Flick might not be your best bet because of that.
MainConcept Reference is often recommended, but it's $500. I used HCEnc to archive VHS tapes before, and the output was excellent. It did mean doing everything manually, like install AVISynth and write a script for it, feed that to HCEnc, encode the audio to AC3 using another tool, multiplex that with the video using yet another tool then finally writing a DVDAuthor file describing the disc and feeding it to DVDAuthor itself. -
