texte = I can do either one. The source stuff is on Mac, but there aren't too many scriptable options. DVD Studio Pro is not Apple-Scriptable. iDVD is, but it can't import m2v/ac3 files. Instead, it imports QuickTime, which it then has to re-compress to m2v/ac3. That means that all video on every order will have to go through the same, stupid recompression. Toast Titanium offers basic scripting which doesn't allow customizing of menus and will only so a dingle level menu structure.
