I did not find one, and I was not satisfied with vdrconvert. So I wrote one
on my own. You can have it. It has IMO quite nice DVD menus.

But I still have to fix a problem with the conversion's job control, before
I dare to give the script away (the whole thing can get stuck at the moment).
I will contact back later today (hopefully) when I have fixed that problem and 
uploaded
the scripts.

To get an impression, here are the two menu styles I have currently. The
whole menu, including the screenshots, are generated automatically without
any user interaction.
