whats the best program that converts video files to DVD files?
thanks
ConvertXtoDvd seems to be one of those gems that don't have a Mac equivalent, along with WinAmp, Audition, BSplayer, KMplayer, ACDsee, uTorrent, and a few others.
There are equivalents, but not quite as good.
Like there are Mac gems which have no match on the Windows side either.
ConvertXToDvd doesn't really look to be that hard to do. It's a concatenation of existing tools anyway.
To add insult to injury, I have installed Windows XP SP3 on a separate drive using bootcamp on my Intel Octa-core Tower. It installs great & everything seems fine....settings look good. Burner recognized, all systems go, right? Well as soon as you press the "Convert" button, an immediate error comes up.
The log is of almost no help. I now have Windows-7 64-bit using bootcamp along with Snow Leopard on a physically different drive (I'm a video editor and use Final Cut 7/After Effects CS5.5 99% of the time). Even as a professional, I recognize the superiority of this product (if setup right) in speed and quality when certain DVD-related demands are put upon me. We have the same problem with Windows 7 x64 Bootcamp as before with ConvertX4.
VSO 'support' says "screw you buddy, we don't support our product when its being run through Bootcamp". So needless to say, I am yelling "WTF" at the top of my lungs here. Can we attach photos here? I'll try and post the error log etc if I can. Later fellas...I mean we know a superior product when we see one, right? The main problem probably lies in the fact that no matter what format I put in there, the log says "The ???? video stream is not supported by internal encoder, I will use an external encoder"

It does work i have been using it now for bout 3weeks no problem.. you have to put the files on to your windows desktop before you want to convert and burn to dvd..To add insult to injury, I have installed Windows XP SP3 on a separate drive using bootcamp on my Intel Octa-core Tower. It installs great & everything seems fine....settings look good. Burner recognized, all systems go, right? Well as soon as you press the "Convert" button, an immediate error comes up.
