Best Recommended Tools

[Evan7]

Hi,

i was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for easy 1, 2, 3 step and menu and stuff 2 make dvd's. I have been using Intervideo WinDVD creator 3 but the last 4 movies i have made in the middle of the movie it starts to skip and get crappy so i have 2 stop watching cuz its so bad. So Any Recommendations for another good program mabe even better?

Why do you think it is the software at fault ?
What media do you burn to ?
Do you test the DVD sructure and quality from your HDD before you burn to disc ?

Assuming it is the software at fault (although is yet to be proved);

Do you want to make your own menus, or use templates ?
Do you need the software to encode the files, or will you do that yourself in another program ?
What is your source material (DV, downloaded avi files, VOBs from a DVDR etc) ?

Rank the following in order of importance

Easy to use
High quality
One-click solution
Good authoring only

There is no "best". Different programs suit different users with different needs. If you do a seach for "Best" you find many opinion filled responses that should help you to decide.

Have you tried different blank dvds? Sometimes you can get a bad batch.

I don't know what you have to LOL about. You should be ashamed of yourself. If you don't care enough to put together coherent sentences, why should anyone care enough to try and help you?

[Evan7]

aND if i may ask whats up ur ass?

[kschang]

Nothing. What's up yours?

Seriously now, unless you have some sort of a disability that precludes you from typing coherent sentences, (and your last post just smacks of "Ebonics") I don't see why you object to our attempt to bring your attention to it. Manono seems to think your attempt to laugh it off (LOL) was not very funny. Maybe Manono is just a hard***, but your description was, well, less than helpful.

As none of us is getting paid to do this, but we really ARE doing all this out of our good hearts, we believe we have the right to demand at least a coherently constructed question. If you don't agree, fine. Your question may just never get answered. It's up to you.

[Evan7]

all i said was LOL because it was funny cuz i noticed it to so if everyone would get off there periods about one LOL? thnx that was a big waste of time for the past 3 post's when i asked a question yesterday k? now i repeated the question that was typed bad and now you should get over it~

An inability to properly communicate typically precludes a person from learning anything of a more complex nature. In this case, video. It often suggests an inability AND an unwillingness to learn, it screams "uneducated".

So the commentary to date has actually been quite valid.

I wish you luck, really I do, but if you want help, you'll have to rise to a more intellectual level. The teenage speak text-message crap does not work in a forum like this. Not if you hope to succeed.

And back to your question, Evan... There are LOTS of DVD makers, from one-click wonders like DivxtoDVD (and its payware cousin, ConvertXDVD) to full authoring/converting/editing suites. Just what kind of requirements DO you have, other than throwing names at you?

[Evan7]

Thank u all i wanted was a opionion of a good dvd auther of someone else who does it besides WInDVD and everyone gave me shit for no reason. i just felt like WinDVD wasnt working considering last 4 movies were bad and i have made some b4 with it and they worked fine but i think i should try somthing else. Thnx~

You have a product - not a great product, but one that was working for you - and you want to change it because the last few discs didn't work. You still haven't provided any reasoning for suspecting the software. Usually, when software works and discs turn out crap, it is because cheap media was used. If you answered the questions I posed in my first post, you might get a realistic answer.

ripit4me

[guns1inger]

How does ripit4me fit into this post ? It facilitates ripping ArCoSS protected DVDs for re-authoring and buring. It doesn't create menus, convert formats or really do anything the OP wants.

[Evan7]

Lol, true but gunslinger im sorry but if the media dvd's are cheap why do they work on some and not on others? >= \

Luck, and plenty of it, is your answer. Some players are more tolerant of errors than others.

I would check the source files to see if they are OK. If the source is OK I would try different media.
