Windows DVD Maker is a new application bundled with Windows Vista that is designed to enable the creation of DVD movies in Windows, serving the same function as iDVD on Mac OS X. It serves as a companion program to Windows Movie Maker, developed to compete with Apple's iMovie.
Although Windows Movie Maker DVD authoring was already supported in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, it required a third-party application to burn the DVD. Windows DVD Maker is designed primarily for this purpose, and therefore features a highly stripped-down UI. However, applications can pass an XML file to DVD Maker, thus use it's MPEG-2 video and Dolby Digital audio encoding ability in their own applications.
