dvdsoftware-recommendation
I would like to create a movie DVD that contains some pictures and small movies. I'm not after anything too fancy, just the ability to add some music, create a title screen and add a menu. Basically, something like Windows Movie Maker.
What would be my best option?
Sweet Home 3D is a free interior design application that helps you place your furniture on a house 2D plan, with a 3D preview.
If applicable, decrypt the dvd.
Then concatenate the .vob files that make up the part of the dvd you wish to convert (they will be split into 1gb files for compatibility)
cat VTS_xx_xx.VOB VTS_xx_xx.VOB ... > intermediate.VOB
Then, use ffmpeg to convert the file to mkv with no loss of quality
ffmpeg -i intermediate.VOB -q 0 output.mkv
That's it. You're done.

Another good alternative to Windows Movie Maker is OpenShot which has more features than pitivi but still manages to have a simple, easy to use interface. A good program for writing videos to DVD (With support for titles and menus) is DeVeDe.
Both of these applications are available to install from the Ubuntu Software Centre.
