Choice of low-cost (free) DVD Authoring software

[Divine]

Any thoughts on Mediachance's DVD-Lab? How does it stack up against the old standards, like Ulead, etc? Is it relatively stable? Relatively speedy? Relatively forgiving?

Appreciate any input.

DVD lab seems pretty god to me, although I did make a DVD of some TV progs n it refused to worj which somewhat suprisesed me..BUT it is a good program, easy to use, i esp like the new version that can import VOBS directly without demuxing them

In my humble opinion, it's probably one of the best tools for the price. Pretty much if you want something better, be prepared to pay a few hundred to a couple thousand or more. So far, anything that has gone wrong has all been my fault some way or the other.

Top notch tool in my bok for the sub $100 price tag.

it's better than a crap load of software.

I can't find any programs that have it's ease of use and nice stuff like auto-chapters, combined with AC3 support.


It's a true intermediate user program, not as good as scenarist but not as easy as dvd movie factory.

I must agree...while it doesn't hold your hand, once you get the hang of it DVDLab is a great tool...and less than $100 bucks, you can't beat it...

I just wish the author would incorporate multiple VTS into it. Then, no other app would stand a chance.

If you want simple AND free try TMPGEnc DVD Author.
