Jon Johansen, who did this work, knew how to mock up a GUI in MSwindows, but not how to it in GNU/Linux. He was young, and not that experienced a programmer.
It was meant as a proof of concept, another small step in the creation of a free DVD utility set, not as much of a solution in itself.

Also of importance: Modern free DVD players don't use much (if any) of the code in this program. It's outdated, probably as it was meant to be.
