Deft Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Someone at work needs a super easy 1-click idiot proof solution to DivX>DVD solution.Ideally something that will just let you drag a file in - and do ALL the conversion + authoring/layout + burning.I've found quite a few that will convert to compliant mpeg but then obviously needs extra work to get it into proper DVD-Video format.Realise probably not the best quality in an all-in-one solution but doesn't matter really. I saw SVCD2DVD which looks o.k. (now supports AVI conversion) - anyone used it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deeswift Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I always have nothing but trouble with all kinds of apps which are supposed to put movies on DVD, or convert to different formats. It drives me nuts! Someone needs to release the ultimate app that can actually get the job done and is easy to use. So... I'd like to know too. Everything that's been recommended to me has been poo.

Steve Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I've seen a few people recommend DVDSanta, but I've not used it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deeswift Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Me too, then I read some reviews which said it was horribly slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 I've actually just installed SVCD2DVD and it looks pretty good so far. Can't *find* a full version anywhere but reg is only £10 so might just recommend the guy to buy this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deeswift Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I threw that app away! Wonder if that was a mistake now... It's on eMule, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike Reezy Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I have said this countless times www.videohelp.com its the ultimate video conversion website, they have the answer to any question you may have as well as forums, in case they dont. It covers converting form any file to any other file, and tells you which programs you could use to do that, and how. There are many many detailed tutorials. I use tmpgenc to convert and to author dvds, it covers almost any situation, however at times, qwerky situations whatever, some other prog may be required. serioussly, its the very best website for video conversion andthe like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Yeah I have enough tools to do it myself - but I need a 1-click solution for a 73 yr old who doesn't like computers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to use the search function and input the file types in the from and convert to fields, then it will list all guides for that situation and whatnot.

FreeiPod Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 dvd santa take about an hour and 15 mins to convert a full length film and burn it to disc in 1 click , not that slow rly. it falls a lot onto how fast your PC is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I'd recommend getting a DVD player that can play DivX movies. You can get them for about £40. It's great to just burn a movie on a regular CD and watch it on your TV without messing about converting it to DVD format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuff Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 this is probably a crap wap, but i just use Nero to encode em to DVD format, works every time though and quality/sound is always the same as pre-encoded version... DVD santa gave me the hump as it kept crashing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
