4Media AVI to DVD Converter is an authoring tool to create DVD contents. The application is specifically suited to use AVI videos as source; however, it also supports other formats, such as MPEG, M2V, DAT and VOB.
The program has a nice interface, not very different from those of other converters, and this similarity will probably help you work with it smoothly. The main advantage of this application is derived from its multiple authoring features. Besides creating an ordered list of the videos you wish to include in the DVD, you can transform their contents. For instance, you can clip the videos so that only a segment can be converted. You can also crop the visible region of the frame to show only a part. Moreover, multiple effects can be added. Other possible changes include watermarking. In case you need to create multi-language DVDs, you will also be able to add various subtitles and audio tracks from external files.
This application also supports creating DVD menus. In order to ease this operation, it comes with multiple nice menu templates. It lets you use menu thumbnails for each of the video, and you can even choose what video segment to use for this purpose. However, you may feel that these menus are not customizable enough.
Before creating your DVD, you should set some output parameters. These include video quality, TV standard, zoom and aspect ratio. You can also select a DVD type from DVD5 and DVD9. Fortunately, not only standard discs are supported as output because the tool also supports saving the contents to a folder or an ISO image file. more
