Anyhow you can edit the .idx/.url with the wordpad or hex editor. I find the manual procedure pretty easy and simple once you get used to it. No interest in having thounsands of POIs in my DVD.

Angelych why don't you provide a windows interface instead the old DOS .exe file? It would make it easy for many of us...
I use an Excel spreadsheet with a macro that writes the POI data directly as idx and url files

You can write many more fields than just name and lat/long.
Eg phone numbers, sorting fields, etc etc etc

Very powerful.
And all in Excel, so extremely easy to use and to sort and edit....
