Title: DVD Authoring Tools?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there are any good free DVD authoring tools for either Windows or Mac? Preferably Mac... Thanks

I don't know of any that are outright free (but I think there are a few out there), but there are several that offer fully functioning trial periods.  It really boils down to what your plans are, i.e., are you just looking for something to use so you can put together some very basic looking DVDs with simple menus, or are you looking for something that will allow you to do something at a higher level?

For very basic stuff:  TMPGenc DVD Author
For more advanced: Sony Media DVD Architect

The best forums for this sort of thing are:
