okay, DVD SP 2.0 looks sweet, like a combo of the old DVDSP and iDVD 2.0, plus some editing lke FCP3/4, and comes with Compressor (batch file processing w/ 2-pass VBR mpeg2)....and now 1.5 is half as much ($499 or $250 edu  ), plus if you buy 1.5 after april 6th, you can upgrade with the up-to-date program, so not a bad deal. but damn!!!
DVD Studio Pro 2 will be available in August
AUGUST?!? come on!!! i have to wait until freakin' august! man...if this was out now, hell, i'd go out tomorrow and buy it. *sigh*
well, i hope it will be worth the wait...

Yea, that's a painful wait. I have a project that I'd love to do with DVDSP 2 right now!
Obviously, it wasn't ready, but they wanted to steal some of Adobe's thunder re its new DVD app.

I'm just glad they decided to add some themes and automated settings, since it was stupid that doing simple tasks like making a motion menu were much easier in iDVD. 1.5 required doing everything by hand in Final Cut (at least I'm assuming that the new version allows this, haven't looked into it too closely).

DITTO. I was hoping Apple would release a version of DVDSP that I could use for a DVD product I need to start working on in June.
1.5 is such an interface nightmare. I am truly intimidated by it. But I don't want to turn my client away. So I guess <gulp> I will subject myself to the 1.5 torture test and probably be wrapping up my project just as this ultra-sweet app becomes available. DOH!
Or...I could tell my client to wait. Yea..that'll work....

Once you get used to it 1.5 isn't that bad, but it's not very intuitive (not very Apple-like). I would make several practice DVDs to figure it out if you are going to be using it for a job.
Oh, and first newbie mistake just about everyone makes -- don't forget to set a startup action for the disc or it will be complete unusable. I can't believe there isn't some sort of warning message about that.

Actually, I didn't find learning DVDSP 1.5 so bad. I bought a book, sat in Starbucks for about 3 hours with it, and by the end, was doing quite a bit. Once you have a few concepts down, everything falls into place, generally.
Now, software stability/bugginess is another matter!
