seeking replacement for Tsunami DVD Author

[ibzomie]

Is there a newer program that does what Tsunami DVD Author does? Not simply a drag&drop dvd creator, but something that allows me to cut or crop files as I go?
And is compatible with Windows 7?

What about DVD Styler? or Open DVD Producer? or WinX DVD Author?

Preferably freeware, but not necessarily a deal-breaker.

Thanks

TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5 is the newest software from TMPGEnc, which also created Tsunami DVD Author. Like Tsunami DVD Author, it includes a smart-rendering editor. It has a free trial, so you can try before you buy.

I don't know of any free authoring software which includes a built-in editor. I have used a few of them (but never WinX DVD Author or Open DVD Producer), and in each case it was necessary to edit with another program prior to authoring.

DVDStyler can do cut/crop/fade.

I need a video editing/dvd author program for Windows 7. I've been using Tsunami DVD Author on Windows XP. I like Tsunami DVD Author, but apparently it is not compatible with Windows 7.

Will Avidemux do basically the same thing as DVDAuthor? What I mainly need is the ability to place chapters where I need them, and then output a DVD file for burning to a disc.

I don't need any filters or special effects.

Maybe you should do a little more reading?

Are you sure? Have you tried installing using the compatibility modes?

'Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks' - it isn't a dvd authoring program.
