Installation and registration a breeze as the codes automatically filled in.

It opens up to a really pleasing interface that is very simple to use with decent functions available.

These include the ability to edit the video and the audio and the output choice is directly to DVD, DVD folders or IOS file.

Decided to test with a poor quality video in that it is too dark and the volume too low; these I modified using the edit functions for both video and audio.
My 23 MB video was converted to a DVD of 88 MB, it took about 10 min.

Very pleasing piece of software and probably the best I have used of this type, but that was a long time ago has rarely make DVDs today.
Now find tablet with HDMI output and an SDcard slot a much better option in both quality and storage space.

If you do need a DVD creator this is a first rate download.

Regardless their still strong sales, DVDs are considered passe by the people who create video discs for a hobby or a living, so there have not been any real advancements in DVD authoring software for several years. While many retail DVD authoring apps also do Blu-Ray, you can't re-create the same experience as found on retail Blu-Ray video discs -- that requires Java programing, & the software costs thousands -- so again not much in the way of advances.

What has changed is that the devs at companies like 4Videosoft have gotten better with their [usually DVD Author based] DVD authoring apps. If you liked earlier versions of 4Videosoft DVD Creator, or similar, give it a try. If you lean towards freeware, DVD Styler. The biggest problem with DVD creation apps is that many use less than wonderful mpg2 encoders -- ffmpeg & similar do work, & unless you've used better you don't know how much better they truly are. In the US [& elsewhere with NTSC standard] MainConcept with the ability to do pulldown is among the best -- it's sometimes included but with few if any advanced features.

That having been said, practically speaking, if you're limited to DVD discs vs. Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray on DVD will give you a much better picture than you'll get from most any video DVD. It does not require a Blu-Ray drive, though it does require a Blu-Ray capable player. It also requires some research &/or trial & error because while DVD discs are part of the Blu-Ray spec, few apps let you create Blu-Ray on DVD [I keep an older version of Sony's DVD Architect just for that].

The downside to 4Videosoft DVD Creator & many similar apps, besides the mpg2 encoder, is really just reduced creative flexibility. Do bear in mind that not all DVD burners, DVD blanks, burning software, & stand-alone players are equal by any means. There are brands/models of discs that won't work well with some burners &/or players. Sometimes the speed at which you burn has a huge effect, regardless the rating on the blanks. Sometimes a burner drive just won't work for most players -- some are not accurate enough, whether by fault or being worn out, but they're often less than $15 on sale to replace. If you're burning dual layer DVDs, use ImgBurn.

The DVD Creator allows to trim the video length and crop the video frame，more interesting dvd menue templates can be downloaded. I'm using it right now and my DVD is coming soon. Really exicited that I can find this software, and it's free! Many thanks.
