Have you ever tried working with a DVD authoring suite? Sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. Worse, they often require the source video to be made available in a particular format, before you try and import it in to your DVD authoring suite. Try to burn your creation and you find that the software drops out with a warning, before it has finished burning to your disc.

Sometimes it is more realistic and far easier to burn video direct to a DVD. If you’ve been given some raw video, or just grabbed video through your camcorder, you could either connect the camcorder directly to the TV or simply get the video in to your computer and burn to DVD. If you burn directly to DVD, you can play back the video from your DVD, without having to worry about the fancy DVD videos you might need to navigate, before you can view your video(s).

Sothink Movie DVD Maker is a tool that will enable you to take raw video and burn directly to DVD. It doesn’t add any fancy graphics, buttons or navigation. You can crop and make minor adjustments to your video, and even compress the audio, but it’s a tool for direct video to DVD conversion/burning. As it supports nearly every video format, you won’t need to worry about converting your source video before you want to burn your DVD.
