DVDStyler Tutorials
DVDStyler is a free, open-source DVD authoring program: it takes your video files and turns them into a proper DVD-Video disc with interactive menus, chapters and subtitles that plays in an ordinary DVD player. These tutorials walk through the real DVDStyler workflow step by step — starting a project, choosing the disc size, TV standard and aspect ratio, adding videos, designing menus, setting chapters, previewing, and finally generating or burning the disc. If you have not installed the program yet, start on the download page, where the main buttons link to the official files hosted on SourceForge.
