WinDVD Creator 3.0

I've been using WinDVD Creator for a few years now and I'm very pleased with it. It's easy to use and has a lot of great features. I love the ability to combine clips, audio tracks, and images into presentations that can be accessed via interactive disc menus. The quality of the output is great and it's easy to optimize the quality without exceeding the storage space limit. I also appreciate the ability to process the converted DVD video content for alternative output.

The developers have made a product for movie creating, convenient in every respect and easy not only for a sophisticated movie maker but also for a beginner. The stepwise choice of the attributes for the DVD project (Capture, Edit, Authoring and Burn) allows to understand it easily and quickly. A rich and friendly interface is adapted for common users to create professional results of high quality.
The compatibility with a lot of output devices makes it possible to capture TV and HDTV programs to DVD using a navigation menu, or directly record your video tapes to DVD.
When performing video capture, the program displays an active board with the user-friendly interface. Apart from the board you can use hot keys during the capture.
The program features capture methods and possibilities of all kinds. If you want to create your DVD automatically with little effort, you can use Smart Movie. If you want to feel being an editor, you can use advanced editing tools: time stretching (to change the speed or duration of video), scene detection (to remove parts from video files), split cut (to split or cut any part of your movie), and audio tracks (to add an audio track to your movie). So, it's not so difficult to do TV Show, commercials, photo slideshow and other things now. You can import video and add transition effects to it (the Storyboard mode) and edit your video by viewing all the tracks at the same time (the Timeline mode). The title effects and view filter can make your video material rich and original, make it a "movie".
The adding menu item contains a variety of different menus which you are also able to choose for your movie. You can select:
- a menu template (a big gallery of background themes are at your hand)
- your own menu.
When menu making, you can use various menu settings, your own pictures, video clips and audio tracks. You can edit your menu directly by means of buttons resizing, making music menu (playing music in the background), motion menu, adding moving icons. The program supports most of the known video and audio formats.
The program also offers a variety of ways to burn you projects. You can record your projects on disk with the help of Make Movie Wizard. The coding quality settings are customized automatically depending on the disk format. The program supports all disk formats: VCD, SVCD, DVD on CD, DVD, DVD+DL, DVD-DL and DVD+/-VR. You can also output your movies to different devices: iPod®, PSP®, hard drive or DV camcorder.
