Description
There is no good DVD Authoring software available for the GNOME Desktop. Something easy to use but still powerful. See Apple's iDVD as an good example.
http://www.apple.com/ilife/idvd/
The app should provide a good media integration of other GNOME applications like F-Spot for Photo selecting or Banshee/Rhythmbox for songs selections, etc.

ManDVD is good enough for the job. Not sure if it should be installed by default because of the limited space on the Ubuntu CD but it should be placed in the repositories. It is already on www.getdeb.net .

Right, but I said GNOME, not KDE application. And by the way, ManDVD is a little bit buggy and really unstable. Further it does not fit into Ubuntu's look and feel.

Switch to KDE then... it's about time to realise that GNOME is just...limited.

Thank you for your comment. DVDStyler is not really easy to use and not powerful. I tried it a couple of years ago and the results disappointed me.

Actually I switched to KDE and stayed with it for 1-2 years. Not that bad, but not really good neither. I like the GNOME's look and feel better and its easy of use. That's why I switched back to GNOME and I keep using it for more then 8 years now.
Further the KDE applicatios for dvd authoring are not that good. Tried qdvdauthor and ManDVD. Both are buggy and not well integrated into the KDE desktop, both are actually Qt applications and NOT KDE apps. ManDVD looks promising but crashed a lot of times and I was not able to create a slide show from a collection of pictures and songs.
You see, KDE is by far not perfect. And by the way, there is no WAR between GNOME and KDE folks at all :). KDE and GNOME are both great desktop environments and should start working together instead of "fighting" again each other...
