You can't get confused with DVD Workshop; rather than a drop-down menu there's a toolbar of the different stages in creating your DVD, from selecting the opening image that plays when you pop the DVD into a DVD player, through capturing and editing your video (or building slideshows of still images), to designing the menu and burning the disc. Capturing video is simple, although there are plenty of options for changing the settings and encoding if you need too. Editing is also simple; you can trim the beginnings and ends of clips, join multiple clips into one video and mark the different scenes in a clip to show up in the menu as separate chapters. You can make a slideshow of still images, although the interface is a little confusing here; you need to add all the images as a single video clip in the timeline and then arrange them in the separate chapter timeline.
The tools for building the menu are very flexible; you can use one of the templates and alter it or start with a blank page and add a background image (which can be animated), text or image buttons (again, they can be animated), background music and standard buttons to start playing the video or jump between different levels of the menu. You get more choice over text settings than in many packages; you can choose the font, point-size and colour or add special effects such as ice and flame. There's a chance to try the menu out before you burn your disc. And you have the choice of sticking with the standard templates for burning different types of disc (DVD, Video CD and SVCD) or picking your own settings for video resolution and bit rate.
In general, the interface is friendly and helpful, although buttons for choosing settings can be tucked away in corners. Once you understand the timelines and video controls you can put together exactly the footage you want. Having to work full screen with no option to resize the application window can be intrusive, but, all in all, DVD Workshop gives you a combination of features you could pay many times more for in other packages. --Mary Branscombe
