    App advice - burning movie files so they'll play in a dvd player

    I have lots of movie files in various formats that i've taken from mine and my family's camcorders and they want the footage on DVD so it'll play in a DVD player. I've had a look on my PC and i can't see anything that'll do it. Do i just need something like Nero, or is there better?

    Yeah nero should do it.

    what about Windows Movie Maker? I seem to think it can make DVDs for you.

    Could be wrong, and as I can't understand norwegian, i cant have a quick shifty at the copy on here

    Movie Maker i hate with a passion, so that one's out - possibly spurred on by many characteristic YouTube videos.

    I'll try DVD flick, then Nero!

    Ta guys

    Gotta be DVD Flick for free. ConvertXtoDVD is nice and simple with quality results if you don't mind paying a little (£26).

    ConvertXtoDVD does work really well. I used to use WinAVI too way back..
