* <tt>spumux</tt> allows the specification of multiple graphic files, each potentially containing a different set of colours, even though DVD-Video subpictures only allow a maximum of 4 colours to be displayed at once from a maximum palette of 16 colours. <tt>spumux</tt> embeds information about the colours actually used, and <tt>dvdauthor</tt> collects this to correctly encode the generated subpicture pixels and build the complete palette.
Note a limitation: even though the [DVD-Video spec|DVDVideoTerminology] allows menus to have up to 4 colours in each of the states of normal, highlighted and selected, <tt>spumux</tt> requires the separate images to have a [total of 4 colours when combined|http://www.floatinginspace.za.org/spumux/spumux.html].

['Q' DVD-Author | http://qdvdauthor.sf.net/] is a [GUI]-based tool to ease the job of [DVD] authoring. It can generate the [XML] files and command sequences necessary to drive the various CommandLine utilities in the <tt>dvdauthor</tt> suite.
<tt>qdvdauthor</tt> and the <tt>dvdauthor</tt> documentation examples make heavy use of the [MJPEG Tools | http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/] package for generation of [MPEG] files and the like. However, all these operations can be performed just as readily with [FFmpeg].
