Need Advice on Good DVD Authoring Tool

[zed]

I'd like to burn some of the stuff I record onto DVDs that will play in a normal DVD player. Anyone have any advice on some good DVD authoring tools? I don't particularly want to automate from inside GB-PVR, just be able to easily set up a DVD and burn it. Something with a drag-and-drop interface preferably. Doesn't have to be fancy. I've played with DVDAuthor a little and it works OK but isn't all that easy to use. I also ran across this one:

that seems to work pretty well. There are scads of them out there, just wondering if anyone here has any favorites (or ones to avoid).

Oh yeah...price of less than $50 is preferable...

Thanks...

As good as any is Ulead (the one that comes with Hauppauge cards), although limited.
I use DVDLab Pro exclusively, but it's out of your price range

My most used one is TMPGEnc DVD Author. It is not fancy, and only cuts at i-frames, but leaves compliant mpegs alone. It does motion menus OK also.
