Dvd Authoring Software

Question

Hi,

Does anyone out there know of any really good Dvd authoring software. I need it to take an avi file and convert it so that i can burn it on a dvd and play it in a regular dvd player. I also need the software to have FULL menu (inc. background, scenes, buttons etc) customisation.

I need your answers based on the strength of the software, not the price.

Cheers

I use NeroVision. It has more options and buttons than the dashboard of a BMW.

Here's the info page: [url="http://www.nero.com/en/NeroVision_Express_3.html"]NeroVision Express 3[/url]

It's free if you've already got Nero installed. Just download the update package [url="http://www.nero.com/en/nero-up.php"]here[/url].

I have not tried the Nerovision, but I have used WinDVD Creator. It seems O.K. and extremely easy to use, but I suspect other progs. may be more fully featured - possibly Nerovision. WinDVD will allow you to do basic editing, overdubbing, scene selection screens with a variety of buttons and motion backgrounds etc..

One neat feature is that it will also burn the video directly to DVD without hard disk buffering, but I have not tried (or fried) this feature yet. Win DVD Creator comes bundled with the Plextor unit mentioned below.

OFF TOPIC, BUT RELATED;
I've been converting tapes and capturing from free to air to DIVX recently using a Plextor PX-M402U hardware encoder (100% reliable so far - never missed a beat !!!!!), but the file sizes are still huge! Anyone know good software to re-process and 'dial-in' the output file sizes? How DO some folks get movies down to 700Mb and still retain such good quality?

cheers guys!

I've tried WinDVD creator, but I wasn't too keen on the authoring options( not enough ).

I'll give Nerovision a try and keep you posted.
