Help with Burning Video DVDs (DVD-Video)

My Experience with Free and other DVD-Burning Software

I've searched extensively on the Internet to try to find adequate free DVD-burning software that burns video DVDs (DVD-Video), which can be played in DVD players. My searches and my experience have led me to make the following recommendations:

  • Adequate free DVD-Video-burning software that burns DVD-Video is very hard to find. I found only one such free program worth mentioning; namely Replay Converter, which you can get for free through a TrialPay promotion;

  • Unless your computer came with DVD-burning software that burns video DVDs, or unless you get Replay Converter through TrialPay, if you want software that burns DVD-Video, probably you're going to have to pay for it;

  • Probably a download of a full version of Nero 7 or later (not Nero Express) is the best disc-burning software to purchase;

  • Probably Roxio (or Sonic) is the second-best disc-burning software to purchase;

  • If any software that came on your computer burns DVD-Video, probably that's all you need for this basic purpose;

  • Even if Nero should cost a little more than Roxio (or Sonic), if you're going to purchase one or the other, my recommendation would be to purchase Nero;

  • Depending on the size of your hard drive, this point isn't necessarily important: if you purchase Nero 7, you can legally install via the Nero 7.10.1.0 Ultra Edition executable from me, instead of via the executable that comes with your purchase of Nero 7. The executable from me is about 491 MB installed, possibly less than half the size of a typical Nero 7 installation. The executable from me is a full version, with all the Nero 7 features. It's smaller when installed only because it's an English-only version. (You'll need your purchased key/serial number to use my executable. Just e-mail me after you've purchased Nero 7, and I'll e-mail you back with the link to this download);

  • Before installing any version of Nero, see this important installation tip;

  • See more regarding which version of Nero to install (system requirements, etc).
