Two part problem here.
Part one - seven or more users running FC6 as desktop (happily). They
have assorted short clips on installing parts, many shot on digital
cameras, webcams, etc, in avi, wmv and mpg format. They need to turn
these into DVDs to give to technicians.
Part two - these are **end users** just nicely weaned off that other
O/S, solutions which include "create an XML file" are not appropriate.
They need a tool to click on a clip, type in a one line title, and
repeat, then click "burn" and get a result. Creation of 2nd level menus
are useful but not required, some title at the top of the menu ditto,
creation of SVCD or DivX on CD is nice (these are about 50MB in most
cases). Simple is a total requirement, so lots of training is
undesirable (not to mention we have no trainer who has a tool they use
in Linux).
Any suggestions? Open Source is desirable from a political (not
financial) standpoint.

You need two tools:
dvdauthor (Fedora): create vobs from mpeg files.
dvdstyler (Livna): GUI to create menus.
Also look at qdvdauthor and dvd-slideshow.
I have just been playing with dvd-slideshow to make a video slideshow of
a large group of pictures.
Note, the dvd-slideshow that comes with qdvdauther won't work properly.
I need to submit a bug report on this.
Much of the command line stuff could be written in a script once you
have a working procedure. Put the files in the correct directory and
run the script(s).
