Create Custom DVD`s with DVD Flick

When I’m looking at my video collection I see different formats, file sizes, resolutions, bitrates, audio formats and codecs. It normally takes some time to create a DVD from this mess. What would you do if you wanted to create a DVD from various .mov, .avi and .mpg files ? Convert them, load them into a program that is able to create DVD`s and burn them afterwards ? How much time would that take, what would you say ?

DVD Flick is a powerful DVD authoring software which is able to automatically create a DVD from various video formats such as apple quicktime, divx, flash video and mpeg. There is no need to convert them into a DVD compliant format, just load them into DVD Flick and it will do the rest for you. All that needs to be done after DVD Flick finished generating the files is to burn them.

You should take a look at the projects settings before proceeding to generate the DVD. You may select a different target size such as CD, DVD-Ram or Mini-DVD, change the target format between PAL and NTSC and change the quality of the encoding process. A better quality or a second pass results in a longer generation time but also in a better video and audio quality.

You may select the audio format and bitrate and opt to generate a iso file instead of a video_ts folder. It is also possible to burn the new DVD right after the generation finishes.

The only thing that is really missing is the missing menu feature. There is no way to create a menu at this moment which means all files are played in a row which could get confusing if you have many small movies on a DVD.

Judging by the webpage it looks like a front end for mplayer software, useful if you don’t like getting your hands dirty on the command line.

Joey says:

Martin, is this quicker or easier than the DVD styler you reviewed a while ago?

Martin says:

DVD Styler only creates menus for the DVD`s, Super was the tool that was converting the files. It took Super about 1h to convert a file of 300 megabytes, I will test a file of that size with DVD Flick and let you know.

Joey says:

Thanks, I’d like to know my quickest option.

Martin says:

I did not use the same files for this test but it took 29 minutes for DVD Flicks to convert the movie

Another good tool is Movavi. Only thing it (mysteriously) lacks is the ability to add titles and credits.

Incidentally, your web posts only display the day & month at the top. This is not good! If you come to the page via Google, you want to see at a glance that you’re not reading a post from 2003 !
