CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
If there's a little Alfred Hitchcock in all of us, DVDComposer is one of the tools that will help let him out. The software is a simple tool for creating DVDs, aimed at home-computer users who have no desire to lose themselves in the details of video-file formats and menu structures. It uses a series of wizards and templates to create slick-looking DVDs with animated menus, multiple tracks, and easy navigation. It's too limited for full-blown professional projects, and can't go much beyond the templates offered by the software's developers, but we were surprised by how easy it was to author a complex DVD. We recommend this program for home filmmakers looking for a fast, simple way to move their digital work to disc.Publisher's description
From CodeJam :DVDComposer is an advanced DVD authoring application. It allows you to create DVDs with flexible navigation, create motion menus, and add multiple audio and subtitle tracks to your DVD. The list of features goes on. Unlike other tools, you do not need to have an intimate knowledge of the DVD structure. DVDComposer handles all the complicated stuff for you behind its intelligent interface.
Version 1.0.5 may include unspecified updates, enhancements or bug fixes.

Version: DVDComposer 1.5
Pros: Interface is nice and fairly intuitive. Can generate decent menus with spot vision/images embedded. Appears that the editor features for tracks are good.
Cons: Ignores the audio stream that is already embedded in a .vob file, even though it claims to scan the audio stream when loading the file. So cannot tell whether track editor performs at all well. Finally when I check the created dvd files there is no audio on any of the demuxed remuxed .vob files. A waste of time and a waste of space on my hard drive.

Version: DVDComposer 1.5
Cons: I tried this program on two different PC's. On both cases when I try to burn a Dvix movie (avi) with a subtitle, it gives an error message during the convertion.

Version: DVDComposer 1.5
"Wasted money to burn DVD. Cannot test final result and links before burning."
Pros: Nice and easy to run and install without writing to the Window System Registry and therefore can even be installed without admin rights. Successfully burnt my first DVD with much trial and error both using the easy-to-use Wizard and also without it. Have also try out creating user-defined buttons and changing text colours. (But all these lead to no where as you CANNOT test out the results - which is the main flaw in this software).
Cons: Generally a nice software to used to create your own DVD with chapter links. But I wasted some pieces of DVDs realising what I wanted to link did not turn out as expected. Also there is a bug: the 1st Chapter (Chapter 1)is fixed in the beginning of track (cannot be moved) and is reflected in the Disc Mapping off and on (if not linked or used). Because of this all the chapter links are 1 chapter offset, linking to chapter 1 goes to chapter 2 and so on.
Using the wizard also did not give me the result I wanted. My Player connect to my TV failed to recognised the DVD. It is not the DVD player or system because when I did it without the wizard it is OK. The DVDs used in both trials are of the same type and brand.
