I Use Cyberlink PowerDirector, does the job for me with the family footage, and done a couple of weddings too.

Takes an age to render it though.

EZ Producer's a sub component of it that takes already edited .mpg / .avi etc and you use it to create the menus, chapters etc then burn it to disc or a set of master files, then to disc.

I use Pinnacle Studio 9. Easy peasy.

I use DVD Studio Pro but that's on a Mac too.

iDVD, iMovie HD or DVD Studio Pro and Final Cut work for me. Toast works as well. ( all Apple programs I'm afraid)

I simply use a TV out card on the PC and dump it onto video tape / DVD and it works ok....looses a bit of quality but I can live with it.

maybe 2cows or Kazza might be your friend here

I had major problems copying files to just a plain old CD (Win XP of course).
Then I read a book and right clicked the CD drive in explorer and made sure that the write settings were applied - problem solved.
May or may not help.
