Audio & Video In Sync. I know Nero Vision is bad at it and ConvertXToDvd is great at it. What is the general consensus with other authoring apps. I find that with TDA 3 it's a gamble. Sometimes it's in sync sometimes not. ConvertXToDvd is never out of sync but I like more options for creating menus. Discuss.........
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

It all depends on the source, convertxtodvd is designed to handle most downloaded formats very well while nero vision and tda 3 are mainly for home video and may have problem with newer formats like mkv,mp4, etc.
You could convert with convertxtodvd and then use the dvd import in tda3. -
Does there exist an authoring app that "does it all". That can take any input file you throw at it, will create stunning motion menus, will create a perfectly synced DVD and is easy to use? One can only dream.

ConvertXtoDvd does a fine job of output and is fast but the menus are ugly.
TDA 3 and Nero Express created beautiful menus but cannot sync the audio with the video.
D2MP and FilmMachine will not allowing adding files with different resolution and framerate.
DVDForger created a menu with invisible buttons.
DVD Flick and FAVC will not create a menu.
Diko gives me errors every step of the way (vague io know but i'm not looking for support, just venting).
AVI2DVD menu creator is way to confusing.
Blah blah i'm just ranting......... -
DVD Flick and FAVC will, like ConvertXtoDVD, create simple text based still image menus. FAVC is slightly more flexible than ConvertXtoDVD in that you can at least alter the name on the menu.
A simple solution - use FAVC (much higher quality than ConvertXtoDVD, especially if you have high quality source to begin with), and on the front tab, choose Keep instead of Delete under Working Files. Let it run until completion. When it is done, use the audio and video streams it encoded (left in the working files folder) and author in DLP to create better quality menus. I have done this several times for various reasons - the last was to correct a delay in the audio of the source files when I couldn't work out the script changes needs for FAVC.
If you are on a budget, give GUIForDVDAuthor a try instead of DLP.Read my blog here.

They won't. You use the elementary streams created during the encoding, and create your own menus. 99% of the time I only use FAVC for converting single movie files into the DVD format, so I don't create menus at all. If I do need a menu, then it is usually a scene selection or similar, which FAVC doesn't do anyway.

With ConvertxtoDVD you can change the title at the top of the menu page. The track titles come from the file names, and cannot be changed unless you go back and change the file names in Windows.
With FAVC you can change the menu page title, and the track titles, without having to change file names.
Hope this clarifies my previous post for the pedants in the audience.Read my blog here.

I am having problems too using Nerovision when burning to DVD. Movie plays perfectly in media player with audio and video in sync but not after burning. I'm not bothered about fancy menus etc, just want to copy movie to DVD RW media to watch at work during meal breaks on night shift .
Will ConvertXtoDVD be the ideal program to do this?
Thanks -
No app will ever work for all source materials.
That a software media player can play the source file from end to end is no indication of wether it's possible to successfully convert (=reencode) it to some other format.
There are better (convertx2dvd is one of them - FAVC another) and worse (Nero, WinAVI & cetera in this category) apps to do the conversion with - for some sources, you simply have to try some out, as they all go about their business in slightly different ways. Or figure out what throws the encoder off, and fix your sources before converting.
The very best option (coincidentally carrying about the same price tag as most commercial converter software offerings) is to get a hardware player that supports AVI (DivX/XviD) and not convert at all.

Thanks for the prompt reply Mats much appreciated.
A hardware player does seem like a good idea and saves the time wasted converting to DVD. I have an old Sony DVD player which doesn't support AVI but I might just upgrade to a one that does support AVI. The cheap DVD player we have at work also does not support AVI but I'm now thinking I could hook up my laptop to the TV and watch movies through that.
Thanks again Mats, a great suggestion for the harware player (solves a load of problems and time).
