Please Recommend DVD Authoring & DVD Creation Software

Hi, everybody, Happy Holidays,

I need help, and appreciate it if you can recommend me a good: easy-to-use, not memory-hog, not Windows-Freezer piece of software which can do the following for me.

I have about 80 files of .mov format, each runs for about 4 minutes in length, totalling 1.8 GB. I want to burn them all onto DVD to play on my TV. I would like to create a menu or series of menus for the whole set i.e. menus with 2 levels deep, or better, list them all out by filename (one line per file). [I would be creative with the filename so that they would not exceed 80 characters each], so that I can pick the video by file name.

I have Ulead 3.0. In the simmer, I tried it out, it cannot do what I want. . The program bombs out on converting from mov to DVD video Now I am on vacation, I want to try it again with another piece of software.

Any suggestions (I would not mind buying the software if it really works). Ulead costed me a bit when I bought it 2 years ago, and I have Nero 6 (oem version - ie. the basic of the most basic one which comes with the DVD burner)...

Look forward to your help.
Newbie.

Hi Mate
Well Id suggest you try Nero Vision part of the Nero full package it handles most media and can produce chapters and menus.

Hi, Dysle
Does it mean that I have to upgrade my oem version of Nero 6 ?

What about one-line-menu or 2-level menu creation for menu building ?

Thanks,

Yes the OEM versions are usually crippled or reduced in some way from the full version.You can try the 30day shareware edition to see if it meets your needs: http://www.nero.com/nero7/eng/nero7-demo.php
