ConvertXtoDVD

ConvertXtoDVD (for Windows) is a fast, easy to use software program from VSO Software that not only allows you to convert and burn videos to a DVD playable on standard DVD players, it also lets you customize things such as menus, chapters, subtitles, audio tracks, and much more.

Features:

• The top feature for this product is the ability to create your own vision of how you would like to navigate your project once it is burned onto the DVD via the ability to create menus and chapters. You can use a pre-made menu template or customize the main menu, submenus, and time-stamped chapters yourself.
• Another useful feature is the ability to add subtitles both as a hardcoded option, in which the text is permanently placed onto the video at the given time, or as soft subtitles which can be toggled on/off as the viewer deems fit. SRT, SUB/IDX, ASS/SSA and other subtitle formats are supported.
• This program will also let you preview your creation as you go. There is no need to convert and burn a DVD to check the result: preview it within the program so you know what you are transferring over. The built-in editor can also merge, cut, rotate, pad and crop your videos.
• Finally, this product is fast and efficient. It uses hardware decoding, multi-core support and simultaneous conversions, and it accepts a wide range of input formats, including AVI, MKV, MP4, MOV, WMV, FLV and Blu-ray M2TS files.

The software is fast, easy to navigate, and turns almost any video file into a DVD that plays on standard DVD players.

In summary, ConvertXtoDVD is a capable program for many reasons, not the least of them being its ability to create complex menus and submenus with associated chaptering, the ability to have multiple types of subtitles, and in-program previewing without the need to waste DVDs to ensure quality. The result can be burned to DVD+/-R, RW or DL discs with the built-in burning engine or saved as a VIDEO_TS folder or ISO image on the hard drive. ConvertXtoDVD is commercial software with a 7-day free trial; a license allows lifetime use and includes one year of free updates.
