Hi.

A while back you did an item on open-source DVD-authoring tools. Can I 
mention one helper utility I've been working on recently, called DVD 
Menu Animator <http://github.com/ldo/dvd_menu_animator>. The idea is 
that you use Inkscape to do the main design of your menu, with all the 
design tools that that makes available. You also add information to the 
Inkscape drawing indicating the placement and names of the menu buttons. 
You then bring the drawing into DVD Menu Animator, assign additional 
colours for the highlighted and selected states of the buttons, then 
save the results in a form that can be fed to the spumux tool in the 
dvdauthor suite.

I have also been doing further development of dvdauthor, fixing 
long-standing issues, trying to improve the documentation etc
