Hey guys, I'm looking for the best program to convert different formats, avi, mpeg, divx, etc. to discs so any normal DVD player can play it back. A friend gave me some movies on a disc & he is able to put 3-4 on each disc and it plays in all DVD players. What would I need to do something like this, I can only put one movie on a disc after I convert it to DVD format. Is there a special format to convert them to to fit that many? It isn't the best quality, but it looks good enough and saving discs is a plus. I can't get a hold of him to ask personally, so I came here. I'm willing to buy something if I have to, I would like to have chapters & menus for it as well.

Hopefully my question is clear, thanks in advance!!

DVD Flick is excellent DVD Authoring software. It is rock-solid, user friendly and FREE!! I can’t think of a better tutor than OvenMaster to help you tweak its functionality if need be!

Also, I will add DVD Styler.

Both are free, rock-solid results that even ‘pay’ DVD Authoring software has trouble competing with and can be tweaked!

I use both and neither has let me down!

With DVDFlick I'll be able to put 3 to 4 regular length movies on it, give or take? What setting would I have to tweak to lower the quality to fit that many per disc?

Squeezing 3 or 4 regular length movies on one disc may end up compressing things so much that pic quality will definitely suffer. I'd put no more than two on a disc.

DVD Flick is actually a wrapper for a number of programs such as ffmpeg and IMGBurn, seamlessly running them in the proper order automatically and making compressing and burning DVDs a snap. Tweaking the DVDFlick interface is actually pretty rare, as most settings and operations are automatic and deliver great results.

brb011, thanks for the kind words. I've used this program for years and learned a lot from trial and error.

I must say, however, that the latest available version, 1.3.0.7, has occasionally coughed up hairballs when converting Flash (.swf) video files. I use the previous version, 1.3.0.6, with zero issues. It's available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdflic ... e/download or send me a PM with your email address.

Not at all, my friend; I know that if I have questions in this arena, you are the one person I want feedback from!
