Wondershare DVD Creator 6.5

Despite the declining use of writable optical media, DVD and Blu-ray discs are still our favorite way of storing and watching our home videos and other video files. Wondershare DVD Creator provides you with all the tools and functions you need to create pro-looking video discs of any size in a simple and intuitive way, such as a menu authoring tool, a video editor, and a chapter creator.

The program opens a main menu window from where you can easily navigate to its main functions (create a DVD disc, create a Blu-ray disc, and burn a DVD with just one click) and some of the secondary ones, such as its basic video editor, the option to create a data disc, and a simple CD burner. There are other tools available in the program’s Toolbox, such as video conversion tools (from DVD and BD to video file), a CD converter, an ISO burning tool, a slideshow maker, etc. Each of those main options opens in a new window that closes the main menu, meaning that whenever you close the option you have been using, the whole program shuts down. If you wish, say, to create a data disc after editing your videos, you will have to launch the program again.

As mentioned, this comprehensive tool covers the entire disc editing and authoring process, from selecting the videos (all the most common codecs and formats are supported) to creating a navigation menu. You can preview your discs before effectively burning them, allowing you to change the order of the files, test the navigability of the menu, and check the overall quality of the video conversion process beforehand. Alternatively, you can edit your videos beforehand if you think they require some trimming, clipping, or lighting adjustments, or if you wish to add watermarks and/or subtitles to them.

Undoubtedly, authoring and creating your video discs are the program’s most creative and features. None of the other tools provided, useful as they all are, is that much fun. If you really enjoy editing and authoring video discs, I cannot but recommend you to download Wondershare DVD Creator’s trial and check its many possibilities. Go through its extensive menu templates library and try them all, preview your DVDs and Blu-ray discs, see if they really are up to your standards and convert some video files, create a stylish slideshow with your favorite pictures, or burn an audio CD in between discs – you won’t regret it.
