So then how is project X different from avidemux ? Does it just  
automate the separate steps to export the audio and video files ??

Avidemux can also cut the size down if you need to, but then so can  
DVDShrink running under Wine.

How about qdvdauthor to create the DVD structure.

I guess all I'm saying is there's more than one way to skin a cat,  
but I'm wondering what project X has that the other don't since I am  
unfamiliar with it.
