On this tutorial, we will learn how to make a dvd using dvdstyler and cinelerra.
Dvdstyler uses "mpeg2 with audio" to make dvds- the only problem is that cinelerra can not use this format, However, this can be solved easily by a setting in dvdstyler that can directly mix video and audio - this means there is a very low loss in quality!
After we make our video with cinelerra, we can start rendering ( file > render ):

After we write in the first box the name of the file, ( test ) we will choose the codec YUV4MPEG, Check the Video option, and the video tool option. ( Also, you can Insert Nothing ). Press on MPEG2ENC pipe preset and choose the appropriate DVD setting

Now export audio with the same name as that of the video, and choose codec AC3- check only audio and setting bitrate with the audio tool icon.

Now we can start using dvdstyler.

To start, we will grab a button on the layout menu and we can choose an image to fill it in.

Additionally, we can add text with a right mouse button click on layout menu.

Now we can choose our exported .m2v video and drag it on the menu thumbnail image.

We can now see a little icon on video, and finally we can simply drag on an audio file.

If we try clicking with the right mouse button on the menu button, we can see that dvdstyler automatically chooses the first title to start with....

Now we can press on the gear button, which will start to make the dvd.

We can also burn the dvd easily now.

The dvd is finally ready!

DVDStyler vs QDVDAuthor
I prefer using QDVDAuthor as it offers more features in general like subtitles, multiple audio channels, templates and transcoding.
Yes, you are right
but dvdstyler is more easy to use and very stable.... I use qdvdauthor too as you can read on http://akiradproject.net/cinelerra_is_very_easy_3
