Two of the most popular consumer level DVD authoring programs are made by Roxio and Nero. Roxio's Easy Media Creator and Nero's Suite are both priced around $100 and provide about the same features. The goal of these products is to bring media management and creation to the desktop for the every day person. With these applications you can import video and pictures from your camera, edit them, and then make your own DVD's. While both products aim for simplicity they are in many ways complicated and buggy. In addition the bundled software take over your computer by making itself the default application for every media file type available. Fortunately Windows Vista Home Premium now comes with Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD Maker which should be able to meet most of the needs of the everyday person. If you needed features beyond what Windows Vista can provide, I'd recommend going with Nero first.
