Hi all,
First post, please go easy on me
Okay, first a little about what i'm trying to acheive and a brief history of my previous DVDR experience.
First off i'm looking for some decent quality, stable, software to encode DivX & Avi files to DVD, I am also looking to have some sort of integrated menu creation tool (even if it's basic) as well as an option to burn the files straight to DVD. Usually, I have about four 40-50 minute video files to burn to DVD at a time.
Previously I have used VSO's DivXtoDVD to encode my files, and DVD shrink to burn them to disk. I found the early releases of DivXtoDVD to be stable, quick and reliable. Since upgrading to later versions I have found this not to be the case, i've also had problems with DVDShrink 3.2 where it will simply cut out during it's encryption process, whether this is a problem with DVDShrink or the file encryption by the VSO software I dont know. I also find myself bogged down with large GB's of encrypted files by using two pieces of software for the one job.
Therefore, i'm looking for something else on the market that is more stable than these two programs. I've heard about a program called The Film Machine, and also Sonic Scenarist, but to be honest i'm not sure if either satisifies the criteria I have listed above.
I'd be most grateful for any help, thanks in advance.
