DVDStyler is a very functional free DVD authoring program, which helps you create colorful DVDs that can be played on a standard (hardware/household) DVD player without any problems. The easy-to-learn multi-platform application, available for Windows, macOS and Linux, has a set of necessary tools on board, with the help of which both a professional and a beginner can easily create a DVD project. The program interface is functional and intuitive: a single window with file browser, backgrounds and buttons panels gives quick access to the most popular tools and allows you to make changes on the fly and view them immediately.

Thanks to DVDStyler it is possible not only to burn video files such as AVI, MOV, MP4, MPEG, OGG and WMV to a DVD blank, which will be accepted by almost any household DVD player, but also to create a colorful and interactive DVD menu from scratch or from ready-made templates. You can select a background image for the future menu and add background music, you can create several additional menus - for each movie separately, you can add inscriptions with different effects (different font, shadow, color, etc.), as well as add buttons for easy navigation, and then place all these elements in those places of the menu that you find most appropriate. The program also creates photo slideshows, supports multiple audio and subtitle tracks, can use MPEG and VOB files without re-encoding and can save the project as an ISO image. Another important feature of DVDStyler is the fact that the program has open and completely free sources under the GNU GPL. It will be appreciated by the fans of programming and making changes in the functionality of selected programs.

DVDStyler offers the benefit of creating professional-quality, interactive and aesthetically pleasing DVDs, while being free and user-friendly even for beginners.
