OT: DVD Authoring... What are we using now?

Hello All... It's been a while since I've had to author a DVD, but was just thrown a small project requiring a bit of menu work. I still have DVD Studio Pro... but with it's apparent demise... what program should I be evaluating?

Thanks!

You should still use DVD-SP until it no longer works under the OSX.

Adobe Encore is good too but I only use it for making Blu-ray. I still use DVD-SP for all DVD work.

However Adobe media encoder does work incredibly quickly for making files for DVD instead of compressor.

No problem Steve

I think we all get caught up in the upgrade cycle when it really doesn't add anything.

In any business model you simply need whatever works and within budget.

There really is very little that DVD-SP can't do for SD-DVD so even if it gets left behind on the next round of OS X (Mountain Lion) updates you could easily run a legacy system HDD (Mac OS X Lion for example) for less than a hundred bucks and simply boot into that when needed.
