We need a topic about software recommendations, as lots of us probably found software that others could use - I´ll start:

Great photo editor (and it´s free):

CD/DVD burner (not free, but good price):

http://www.deepburner.com/

Does anyone have a good AVI to DVD they can recommend ? Currently I use:

http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/

But it´s not perfect - sound is not in synch with the original material.

Yes....it's for real when I say it's the best! It's not that expensive either. I've had Norton for some years before I changed to eSet. WHAT a change I say....it doesn't slow down the computer at all and everything is done automatically in the "background". Furthermore it has also been tested as the best in catching viruses!

Can anyone recommend a good video editor?

Poul E,

What do you use for AVI to DVD ?

poul e · 08 Oct 2007, 13:16

@wii: It's been a while since I last encoded avi to DVD because I now have a DVD player with USB in and a USB pen so I can download videos and put it on the pen to watch it on my plasma screen

But when I encoded videos I used several programmes....I remember using Virtual Dub and TMPGenc Plus and I think I also tried AVI2DVD. But you can learn a lot from this page: http://www.videohelp.com/
