Yes, I like it. It also puts a PC DVD player on your home made VCDs. However, do not, I repeat, do not download WinDVD on your new system. The player on your disks will not work on your system once your demo version of WinDVD expires.

I'm trying to use this to burn my re-encoded movies to DVD, but for some reason, every time I open a file with it, it re-encodes them back to the larger file size! Something about not being a "legal" file. Got any sugestions?

How did you encode them once you ripped them from your DVD?

I used smartripper to rip the entire movie, used IFOEdit to strip everything possible(except 1 video and audio), then ran the new VIDEO_TS folder thru DVD2AVI to set up for TMPGEnc. Then encoded at a lower bit-rate to end-up with a .mpg file. Opened the new "smaller" file with My DVD, and somehow it grows a whole Gig back to the "pre-encoded" VIDEO_TS size! Can you believe it!! After all that work!
I was reading in the Help section and it said that any file would be "re-encoded" back to the original size if My DVD considers it to be an "ilegal" file for DVD. I guess some encoders don't make legal files? Or am I doing the encoding wrong?

Mydvd is alright, but like many cheaper authoring programs it doesnt fully support 16:9 pal (US?) and iirc it doesnt support 5.1 sound, only 2 channel AC3 and the normal various wav and mp formats
