Best DVD Creation/Burning Software?

August 5th, 2016

OK so a relative asked me a download and burn a dvd movie for him. I have the video file all downloaded fine and dandy but recently Nero has been a right ~ censored ~ pain in the butthole – it keeps nagging me about patent activation etc and it gets really frustrating.
So what is the best DVD creation/burning software out there apart from Nero Vision?

Answer #1
Are you trying to create a dvd out of files such as .avi, .wmv, .mpg? Need a little more info….When you say DVD creation….are you talking about menu’s, title’s, etc?
Answer #2
I’m talking about burning a proper DVD using a move AVI file I downloaded earlier. Anyhow, don’t worry about it, I did some research on my own and found that the Roxeo Easy Media Creator 10 to be the best, better than Nero even. I download the whole 1.5GB of it, and it has seriously exceeded my expectations, saying goodbye to pain-in-the-ass Nero for now.
Answer #3
you could use “convert x to dvd” or “ultra dvd creator”.
both are pretty good, althoug I find the qualety better from ultra dvd.
The only thing is that with ultra you can not add anny menu’s, its just the movie and thats it
Answer #4
I have tried making dvd’s from avi’s and mpegs before and the conversion takes hours!
im guessing this is normal but is it really worth it ?

Its somethimes worth it, if you want to play it on ur dvd-player.
and about the hours, I convert the a whole movie in about 1 hour, and my pc is really slow. So when u have a fast pc, I think u can clear the job in about a half hour.
Answer #6
Thanks for the help. , it depends, but I am burning and encoding now, and it’s not taking that long with my specs at all.
Answer #7
fair enough,
I am using a laptop with a pentium 4 – 3ghz processor with 1gb of ram and last time i tried (ages ago,) i gave up converting to dvd after about 4 hours because it was taking so long.
Answer #8
I have another question. How come when you buy an actual move DVD, the quality is SO much better than if you burn it yourself? What’s the missing trick here? I can’t seem to comprehend it.

Do you mean, why the quality is going to worse if you burned a movie to a DVD-R?
It’s caused by cheap one click transcoders like DVDShrink or CloneDVD. If you want quality, you’d to use an encoder like Cinema Craft Encoder or Canopus Procoder.
With DVD Rebuilder you are able to re-encode your full DVD9 to a DVD5.
Maybe be the entire encoding process will take several hours (depending on the amount of passes & your system) but the quality is much better than a transcoded one.
Especially fast scenes in the movie mostly get blocks and tiles when using a transcoder.
