SpruceUp is a DVD-authoring tool designed for personal use. Unfortunately the software is not supported any more and full version can't be purchased! This demo version is fully functional, although it has certain restrictions, but it is excellent choice for basic DVD authoring.

Creating DVDs could not be simpler. Just encode your videos clips to DVD-compatible MPEG-2 format using e.g. TMPGEnc, import the videos, create a menu structure and chapter points for the videos, and export the ready-to-burn DVD structure. After that you can burn the structure to either CD or DVD using burning software like Nero.

SpruceUp has the following features:
-completely customizable menus - you can create your own buttons in eg. Photoshop
-WebDVD capability, which allows you to create links to web sites inside your DVD-projects
-supports all video capture and video editing tools thar produce DVD-compilant MPEG
-supports direct recording to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW

This full featured trial version is limited to two watermarked exports after which the software must be registered (registration is not possible any more, unfortunately).
