What types of softwares are able to make/create DVD's on the computer, so that it'll be playable on your DVD player as well.

iDVD for Mac OS X is great.

On the Windows side, I think there's something called DVD Creator that is pretty good. I have it at home--I'm not at home right now, but I'll check on the title when I go home for lunch.

Nero has nice DVD software, its expensive though. $79.99!Online http://nero.com

Easy DVD Creator is made by Roxio and is HORRIBLE. I hate roxio. Updates take to much time.

Anything that's free & works good?
I have an XP.

most dvd burners come with software....check out the help files to see if it'll make dvd's that play on your dvd player. Nero's is pretty good and I have Roxio but i only use it for making CDs

I use a program called WinDVD Creator on the Windows side. It came with my motherboard.

^I saw that somehwere before, but can't seem to find it.
Are Realplayer files able to be burned into a DVD disc and played on a DVD player?

No, DVD players generally use MPEG-2 and a variety of audio formats.

Dvd Studio Pro is so awesome. That's what my mom uses to make DVDs in her post production studio, and I use it too. It's a little complicated- but you can figure it out and there is always the manual. A lot of stuff on it is self explanatory though.

It also I think has the ability to convert certain kinds of movie files into mpeg-2...so that it can be burned onto a DVD.

Isn't DVD Studio Pro Mac-only though? I could be wrong, but I think JAMx33 is looking for a Windows program.

It might come in a windows version...not sure...Didn't realize JAMx33 was looking for a windows program though.....Sowwwyyy....didn't see it in the post.

I'm making one right now, but as of now the moderators can close this thread.
