I recall using it back in the day when creating dvds was in fashion - 5 years ago or so )ĭVDStyler is a cross-platform free DVD authoring application for the creation of professional-looking DVDs. But I would think this does what you want for FREE. Not sure why anyone would be into creating DVDs any more these days - the trend is to just play the files directly. I'm just looking for a simple software that will take a bunch of Mpeg 2 videos (with AC3 audio), create a simple DVD menu, add some chapter stops, and format it into a DVD file? Does one exists?Īny help will be greatly appreciated. So, are there any free DVD authoring softwares that doesn't re-encode and supports Dolby AC3 audio? I'm not looking for anything fancy. Ulead VideoStudio is able to do that without a problem, but like I said, it will not accept these videos recorded from the player since it won't support Dolby AC3. It just needs to be formatted into a DVD file with menus and chapters added. I tried a few free DVD authoring softwares out there, but all of them re-encode the videos, which is crazy because the videos don't need to be re-encoded since they're already encoded in the proper format. So, the software will not author a DVD from Mpeg videos with a Dolby AC3 audio. It only supports PCM or Mpeg 2 audio, which is ridiculous IMHO since Dolby is the standard audio codec that is used in 99% of DVDs. However, the problem is, this software doesn't support Dolby AC3 audio, which is audio codec that the DVD recorder uses to record the videos. Currently, I have Ulead Video Studio 10 and it can easily extract the Mpeg 2 videos from the recorded DVD. So, I would like to edit it with a computer software since I have a DVD burner on my computer. I like the way it records, but it's very sloppy when adding chapter stops and putting together a dvd menu. In fact, I bought commercial programs instead.I just got a DVD recorder. I don’t use those pieces of software anymore. ![]() My biggest disappointment with open source software is the attitude of some developers that a user’s needs/desires, especially when it’s one that supposed to work and doesn’t, is unimportant to them. If Shotcut was a commercial program, that’s an aspect that would need to be taken in to consideration, if they wanted to be successful. But, I’m looking for something that provides the features that are important/needed/wanted by my friend. I understand DVD burning isn’t a priority for Shotcut from your perspective. I kept looking for “the one that fit me”, and that’s the one I use now. I have never, ever liked using MS Word, although there was a time when I used it at work. So I try to find software that seems to fit the individual best, I don’t just automatically say “You have to have XXXXX”. ![]() I can’t begin to tell you how many word processors I tried in the 8-bit days before finding one that I liked. I learned a long time ago, that what fits Jack does not always fit Jill. I don’t do video editing myself, but my thought is Shotcut would do itself a favor by including the ability to burn discs directly.Īh, another “old-timer”!! Nice to meet you. All of the other potential solutions require the use of 2 programs. It would have done what he wants using a single program. ![]() The almost perfect program understands mts files, some of the others do not. So I’m going to take him about 4 programs that I think he’ll be able to use with some tutoring. My friend’s computer has 16Gb of RAM, Windows 10, and it may run fine there. I did sent the company the requested log files. Unfortunately, nothing on the website about minimum hardware specs. 7 and 8.1 did disappoint me, those systems have 8GB of RAM. Failing on 10 did not really surprise me, it’s an old minimum requirements system, just 2GB of RAM. I thought I’d found the perfect program, or at least as perfect as you can expect to find without writing your own, but when that program was “pushed” with a lot of files, it failed. I’ve forgotten why, but DVDStyler wasn’t one of the “finishers”. I tried DVDSTyler, and at least 10 others, to find something that fit this situation. ![]()
