DVD burning help?

Ok, I have a DVD burner. And it works. But the included software is driving me nuts. At least for burning video DVDs.

It came with Iomega Hotburn pro for non-video stuff, and Sonic MyDVD for video stuff.

My CD burner came with Nero Express (which refuses to even see the DVD burner, not a big surprise for a bundled program).

So, I'm wondering what would be best. Upgrading my Version of Nero, or buying something else. Or seeing if there's a fix for MyDVD.
