Morning All, i'm looking to purchase a DVD Creator/maker for my laptop (HP Pavilion, running Windows XP)
Anyone have any suggestions?
I understand that the more you pay generally means the easier to use and more features it's got. However, i would like to get a cost effective one that still has a lot of features.
Your input and advice as always, would be really appreciated.
Many Thanks
Pete :T
P.S - as i'm quite impatient i would quite like to download the software instead of wait for a CD to arrive as well, but will take on any advice given.
Cheers

It depends what you mean by "DVD Creator/maker". Do you need something that can import video from a camcorder and edit it? Or just something that will convert an video file to a DVD? Do you want something that will create fancy menus on a DVD?It's my problem, it's my problem

And it's my problem if I have no friends

Hiya,
well i'd like something that can do both i spose, i have some old family vids that i'd like to get onto to dvd and also converting a video file to DVD with fancy menus and transitions etc.
I don't want much do i! ha ha0 -
Adobe Premier Elements, for a cheap version (around £70), or full Premier if you have deep pockets. There are probably cheaper apps which would fit your requirements like Pinnacle Studio for around £20 too.
If you had a Mac running the bundled iDVD, you could do all this as standard. iDVD is a superb application, but they don't make it for Windows.0 -
Well if you're runnign XP you should have MovieMaker which gives you basic editing and should allow you to import videos from your camcorder assuming it's a digital one.
I've used DVDLab to create menus in the past and found it works well. You can download a 30 day trial of the standard version (DVDLab1.31) or DVDLab Studio from here. But it's going to be expensive to buy.It's my problem, it's my problem
