I have not used that program, but I want to offer my experience:
At the beginning of last summer I litterally tried 15 different DVD creation programs. Most were too wizard-based. The "professional" ones either had a steep learning curve, unintuitive interface, or incredibly picky requirements for the imported media. Add to this the fact that you could either buy a $30 to $70 piece of wizard-based crap, or an incredibly difficult-to-use $400 to $600 headache, and the environment was not ready for personal DVD video creation.
I decided to give up all attempts at the process until a product in the $70 to $100 price range was released that would blow all other software out of the water with its simplicity and ease of use, yet powerful capabilities. For example, those of us who don't want to fork over the cash for the full version of Photoshop tend to love the ease-of-use that we get with Paint Shop Pro, which only costs around $70 and comes with their animation studio.
Anyway, I am now creating DVDs like crazy with a program that has become one of my favorite programs of all time: DVDlab
This program is simply amazing. I can't recommend it enough. I'm not saying the Sony one is bad (although there is little to no useful information on that Amazon page), I'm just saying that DVDlab is so absolutely incredible, I must suggest you try it out (there's a free, unlocked, 30 day trial period). I tried it out and bought it after one day.

Ditto! DVD-Lab is the best! Easy, and not overpriced.
