There is another software called dvdstyler which might be in fedora (I myself use gentoo linux). It is a GUI but I think in the long run it is better to know about the xml syntax, also in combination with dvd menus. But if you want to quickly design a dvd, I think dvdstyler is superior. I am a professional musician and my plan is to make DVDs which on the TV display some information on me, the composer and maybe photos of pianos and from the composers life. I might in the long run try to compose visually more interesting still images containing such information with the povray software. That's still a long way to go.
