So it seems my video collection is getting way to large and I need to put them on DVDs. Ive looked into Nero/Roxio etc. and I cant afford those.

Does anyone know of free or cheap burning software?

There's allways the internet... :whistle:

But are you asking about a program that will author DVDs that will play on a regular DVD player or one that will just burn data onto DVD-Rs?

[Yamato_]

Something that will allow me to watch the videos from the DVD, if that isnt possible, then one that allows me to store onto the DVD.

For the first one, I'm sure you'll get a few tutorial-like posts. As for the second option (or free-of-hassle, as I like to call it ), you can try imgburn; light and feature rich.

:heh: I might be asking the same question..

what if i want to author dvd's so they play on a dvd player?

[loeakaodas]

Adobe has some nice high end products :whistle:

I was looking for a free alternative to nero earlier, but didn't really try out much. However, I did fine a nice list of programs.

List of optical disc authoring software

my dvd burner came today..and came with nero...haven't tried the program to let it play on dvd players yet..though. yay for nero

[MestHoop]

personally I use the latest revision of nero 6.5
I wouldnt be caught dead with their newer versions (7 and 8)

XD I'm using 6.6
got it for free at my work XD

I've used 7 and 8, and they're fine (well, recent versions of 7 - early versions were buggy), but you need to go through the hassle of stripping out junk that you don't want/need. Like Scout.

I can't remember the software unruled recommended to me involving imgburn to burn the disk, what was the DVD converting software? T_T

[Oerot]

uh dunno, dvdflick or something?

Yeah, that's the one... it was pretty awesome.

(I used a bunch of RW discs, which saves money and is very useful)
