DVD Writing with Linux

[Simper, Brian D]

I am trying to get some DVD writing software working with Linux.  I am
running Red Hat Linux 8.0 and have tried two packages unsuccessfully.

I tried the demo of Gear Pro for Linux but have been unsuccessful so
far.  I don't want to buy the full package for ~$780.00 if it does not
work.

Has anyone used this product before who might have a review?

I also tried K3b which is free from SourceForge but I have not been able
to get it to compile.  It is at:

http://k3b.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/index.pl 

I get the error message libmad.so.0 is not present.  I downloaded the
library with some MP3 software bit it is not working yet.  Compiling the
code is not working either.

Does anyone have a recommendation for DVD writing software?  I can
probably justify a budget for it, but I would like to know of any
options that are available.

Thanks,

Brian
