DVDStyler 1.8.0

Rated 30/50 by Magpie Jack at Feb 26, 2010

"File downloaded said setup files were corrupt" Flexibility compared to paid products None yet, looks ok. I needed to get the file from the publisher's website. What went wrong here?

Still licensed under the GPL and here is a link to the source code: https://sourceforge.net/...-1.8.0.tar.bz2/download Makes it open source in my book. Ding one star for including some sort of third party installer which you can very easily decline. The program has always worked great for me, but I could see it becoming frustrating for someone who does not know how to use it or isn't familiar with the various topics associated with transcoding, authoring, etc.

This is no longer "Open Source". The author is including a "Kicin" crapware bundle. It has been reported to Sourceforge.

Absolute crap. After waiting for it to decode three menued avi videos (which took it 9 hours), the program announced that the burning had failed. The saved file took 30 minutes to load, and when BURN was again commanded, the application began to transcode all over again. There should be a place for dim-witted developers to do community service, perhaps they should be required to compensate users for shoddy craftsmanship.

"Very simple, functional software." Simple and works. Great help and documentation on the sourceforge site, despite it being a little engrishy. One of those programs that's easy for quick stuff, but seems fairly adaptable for slightly more complicated stuff. Crashed a couple of times on output, probably something stupid i did. Doesn't seem to recognise the correct resolution of clips despite the project settings. Had to manually specify them in the clip properties. No biggy. All the stuff i said.

"Excellent Authoring Program" Does what it says in description. Has better menu options than some retail programs. Very easy to learn. Can add your own images as the background for the disc menu. Help file is kind of vague. A great download if you need software that can transcode and burn various video formats to a DVD that is playable in a stand alone player.

"Great DVD Creating Program" Awesome menu options. Works with multiple video formats. It really is free and doesn't put any annoying advertising anywhere. Menu creation format could be cleaned up, shortcuts added and the help file could be expanded.

It's a good program but not very easy to use. I've used Nero Vision and that one is far easier to use and you can do way more things, although it's not free. I think this one is on the right track but still has to improve a lot to be really usable by a newbie.

"doesnt play dvd on dvd player" easy user interface yet difficult to figure when first tried needs improvement like all software applications when introduced to the computer users either on testing or final release versions

"Lots of customization, but can't read an AVI" Lots of customization with menus, buttons, and still images. Doesn't support AVI files. Looks like a decent program, but since it doesn't support AVI files I'm looking at other applications for my DVD burning needs.
