I'm looking for a free DVD maker program that works on Windows 10, but I can't find any "official" programs from a trusted brand, which makes me paranoid about viruses. Does anybody know of a known safe DVD maker?

3What is a DVD maker? Do you want to burn just data DVDs, or videos? Do you want to author your videos, i.e. combine fragments, edit menus, etc? Please edit your question.– user416Dec 23, 2016 at 13:35

2And asking for malware-free is a bit strange. No one publishes software saying "Look, has malware!". Maybe you mean to ask ""without adware", "without PUPs"?– user416Dec 23, 2016 at 13:38

@jan I mean a program that burns video files onto DVDs. I know no programs tell you they contain malware, but for example Windows Movie Maker definitely has no malware because that would destroy their brand. I'm looking for a trusted brand that has nothing to gain by giving you a virus.– Joe MoranoDec 24, 2016 at 10:48

There's DVDStyler which can be used to author and burn DVD discs. It's distributed under GNU GPL license.
beside DVDStyler i can also recommend Bombono DVD, both of them are GUIs for DVDAuthor.
some features of DVDStyler:
- user-friendly interface with support of drag & drop
- import of image file for background
- flexible menu creation on the basis of scalable vector graphic
- change the font/color and other parameters of buttons and graphic objects
- place buttons, text, images and other graphic objects anywhere on the menu screen
- create and burn DVD video with interactive menus
- design your own DVD menu or select one from the list of ready to use menu templates
- customize navigation using DVD scripting
- add multiple subtitle and audio tracks

- support of MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, Xvid, MP2, MP3, AC-3 and other audio and video formats
- use MPEG and VOB files without reencoding
- support of multi-core processor
some features of Bombono DVD:
- Comfortable Drag-n-Drop support
- Motion menus
- Real WYSIWYG Menu Editor with live thumbnails
- Subtitles support
- Excellent video viewer: Timeline and Monitor
- Transcoding, if necessary (from AVI/MKV/MOV/MPEG4...)
- You can author to folder, make ISO-image or burn directly to DVD
- Reauthoring: you can import video from DVD discs
Not gratis but Nero has been a very well known and respected brand of DVD Authoring & Burning software. If obtained from the official site you should be good to go and you can also sometimes find magazine cover discs with a copy of a slightly dated version.
