Pros

very good output. much easier to use than many others. interface is so simple you think there should be more to it but it does what you need in a simple way. worked perrfectly first time on XP.

Cons

lacks special effectrs like cross fade, disolve, zoom .. but these things are often overrused anyhow and just ad a bit more life to some work . as good as this program is i would expect some special effects before long ..

Summary

the ease of use stands out for this program ... i used nero8 for hundreds of home movie compilations but still find it connfusing .. nero does do a lot but was hard to learn and retain that learning for the next time ... i was shocked when i first used DVDstyler .. it took me far less time to put things together and it did the things i needed in an intuitive way .. i didnt even have to read the instructions except for a couple little things that were quickly clearned up.. i can recommend this to anyone that doesnt want to spend weeks learning a complex program. .. a very nice, well done little program, much more than you would expect for free . someone did a very nice job on this.

Pros

no idea - couldn't get far enough to find any

Cons

couldn't get past square one

Summary

Creating a DVD for home use is pretty worthless if you can't make it easy for friends to watch it. In order to create the opening menu that tells a viewer what is on the DVD you need to right click on "menu editor." Fine - except that there is no "menu editor" in sight. Not in any visible button; not in any drop-down menu; the help file does not tell where to find it. Perhaps after an hour of searching it might have turned up, but in that hour I can download several other DVD makers and try them. And since I won't make a DVD without a menu I'm going to try another program. I honestly can not think of a reason to use this - unless and until the programmers fix this basic oversight..
