iDVD. There really is no substitute for the price. You can still get iLife at Amazon that includes iDVD, but they won't last forever.

I don't know.....I just always have. What editing software are you using?

Can anybody recommend dvd software that burns a great quailty dvd?

iDVD

IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

iDVD is part of the retail iLife suite and not available separately - it is well worth burying it.

You do not need IMovie for idvd, but you do need to have your videos in .mov format to be able to drop them into iDVD.

And iDVD is compatible with lion, I am using it.

I use toast, but do not know which formats it supports, but found this on their site:

Supported Input Formats:

• Audio: AAC, AIFF, MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC and Dolby® Digital AC-3
• Video: AVCHD, AVCHD Lite, AVI, DivX Plus HD, DV, FLV and F4V for Adobe® Flash®, MJPEG, MOV, MKV, MPEG-1/2/4, VOB, VIDEO_TS folder, shared iMovie® projects, EyeTV recordings, and TiVoToGo™ transfers

You have to understand that iDVD is more than just a burning software - in fact, to me the burn capability is the last thing when I think of iDVD. I use it because I am able to give my "master pieces" a polished and professional look. After I have all the movies, slideshows, etc. I open a new project in iDVD and custom design one of their themes/menus with my own background videos, music, pics, whatever - that is what you will see on your TV screen when you first push play on your DVD player; from that menu screen you can choose which chapter/movie/slideshow (all of it or separately) you want to watch. Here is a screenshot of a sample menu I just put together (in actual use, the various panes would be moving with background music until you click on one of the movies to watch):

As to your other question: I tried their bluray plugin once about 2 years ago, at that time, you could only use it with regular DVDs and I could not see much of a difference in the quality. I have not tried to burn anything in bluray because my external burner is not bluray.

I use Toast because I have it - it came with my burner (although I did pay since to update it). It is excellent and does lots of things besides a plain burn - just check out their website. It's also easier to control my external burner with Toast. Don't know if it makes it a better quality especially since the encoding is done in iDVD (I use the professional quality setting), but I am happy with the results of my workflow, so one tends to stick with what works. Now, Toast also has a few menus to choose from, but they are not customizable and too "plain jane" for me. For the project I showed above, I used one of the themes in iDVD, dragged photos in the various moving panes and another into the background and inserted the text and some music. Once burned to a DVD, you'd be able to click either of the titles in the semi-transparent pane and the movie would start playing.
