I'm having alot of problems with it. I'm using adobe premier elements (cause its free and already on my computer.) I made a whole DVD menu and everything, I went to burn it and it was going to be 20 hours to encode it. So now I'm trying to change the Divx AVIs to "DV-AVI Type II" cause someone said that might speed up the process. So now I need a good FREE video converter. Can't find one. argh.
Oh, I wish my son had saved all his links/sites when he was making his DVD for a college class. But don't fear, you will find what you need, but be patient.
I just use Windows DVD Maker, And Youtube Downloader's video converter to make the files take. Takes 3 hours to encode/burn, not 20.
I'd usually recommend Roxio, which has been aces for all the years I've used it, but Roxio 2011 is buggy as hell and fights me every time I try to make a DVD. I also have this: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1175714228541#tabview=tab0 which I haven't used to make a DVD yet, but others have told me it's excellent, especially for the price.
Not sure about DVD but back when I made "exotic" 8mm films it was a bitch getting "fluff girls" to service the midgets.
