To the previous poster. Have you tried VOB2MPG to convert VOB files to MPG2. Very fast.

A great program. I use it for 95% of my work only resorting to DVDLab when I need to produce more complex menus for special events. Another use I use VSO ConvertXtoDVD is a little unorthodox but works a treat as a file conversion program. Like many I had a clutter of video format conversion programs on my computer along with the usual codec clashes and issues. So if I am making a video compile from a range of sources I run each file type first through ConvertXtoDVD and end up with a standard collection of VOB files. I use these in my editing program Womble, do the editing and spit out a MPEG2 DVD conforming file and then make the DVD using ConvertXtoDVD. Womble merely does a stream copy making the whole process quite quick. I guess it would be good if you could get VSO ConvertXtoDVD simply make a MPEG2 file from the same range of formats it accepts now for DVD authoring but it is so quick I'm happy to work with VOB's anyway.. I love it!!

@mathesar: Actually, that's a confirmed bug in 3.5.?. Check VSO's official CXTD forum. (The fact that it was about twice as slow and you/many assumed it was "better quality" or two-pass was implemented is kinda funny/sad, actually.)

Excellent program for converting *.* to DVD, Only minor complaint is the overall encode speed has dropped a lot with recent versions. Perhaps this is a good thing? (Better quality)

We've been waiting for those functions since they first posted beta images of v3.xx and they showed the option of editing the colours, gamma, contrast, etc. We are still waiting .....

As for 2-pass encoding its been explained by the authors that in their opinion it wouldn't make any difference to the overall quality, nor would it make any difference adding the ability to use external encoders to the final quality either (like HCEnc), or making full use of multi-core processors, or adding full batch conversion of multiple files

I've asked about using AviSynth which would open up massive possabilities, but just get 'its supported'. No its not, not so you can actually use the power of avisynth

Regarding the saturation, contrast, hue, etc. capability, I would be all for it myself. It would probably drive up the price a bit and certainly the encoding time, but I'd be willing to pay more and wait a bit longer also.

What would really make this app perfect is the addition of tweaks that allow one to change brightness, contrast, gamma, hue and saturation.

Maybe the slow down has something to do with the the following two areas updated in this release:

- Prepare the engine for 2 pass encoding
- Prepare engine to limit the number of cores used during image resizing process

Simply the best. Don't believe me, believe every bootlegger from Hong Kong to Buenos Aires: In both places I bought illegal DVD's with the typical ConvertXtoDVD menus.
There are some drawbacks. Yes, there's no fancy, adjustable menus, and importing some sorta chapter list would be nice, but that's not their target audience.

If you want something that is FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, FAST, yet does the job, get this one. If you want art, or whatever, go somewhere else.

As far as the money problem goes, I suggest asking some teenboy how he solves that, they're creative ...

The best DIVX/AVI converter softeware I have encounterd. Add menus, music, subtitles with ease. Please note their is an entirely different user experience for those using trial versions of this software. So do your homework ask around and make the purchase like I did. This software allows you to convert multiple video formats to DVD. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

This will convert many things very fast and at good quality, sometimes best quality out of a bunch of other converters I've tried.

Now for the bad... And yes there is a lot of bad, I'm trying to be as honest as I can be - I'm no brainwashed fanboy of anything.

The UI is one of the worst I've ever encountered, it's definitely not for the novice... Dropdown lists with the + and - over on the side = not very friendly. The menus aren't too bad for generic templates but there's not much customizing you can do with them. The preview window is a joke and the timecode displayed is wrong almost all the time which leads me to my next discovery. Creating chapter points is probably the most difficult part, and I'll explain...

Any movie lover isn't going ot accept the "insert chapter at every X amount of time" because then you get chapter points in the middle of great scenes. Ok, so that means you just have to adjust them to be in the spots you want, right? Match up the mark to the frame in the video preview, right??? WRONG. Sure, it lets you do that, but what's the end result? Chapter points in the wrong places. It seems that Convertxtodvd has a problem translating the timecode of the movie - you can slide to a certain spot in the movie and note the movie time at that spot, but in reality it's wrong if you check it with a media player (I use VLC and WMP11). So, it's virtually impossible to set chapters at the exact places you want, they seem to always start 5-10 seconds ahead of where they should be. There's not even an option to IMPORT a chapter list. You can manually edit chapter points by entering the time, but again... the program is retarded at timecodes.

Ok, wow this is just unreal... While writing this comment I opened up the program and loaded a movie project that's already been converted just to recheck things. I remember the exact movie frames for the chapter points that I had set and now when I look at each one they have been moved back 10 seconds. This program just has no clue how to keep track of the timecode of movies, I've done 4 movies so far. (Try is yourself, set some chapter points, save your project, close it, reopen it and look at where the chapter points are!)

If you're looking to just encode movies at great quality really fast and have absolutely no interest in the fine details like correct chapter points or a fancy menu, then this is definitely for you. Oh yeah, and if you've got the time to fool with the insane UI.

I think this is the bestest & easiest software out there for conversion of ANYTHING to DVD format. It has an edge on the freeware in various ways (not knocking the freeware out there). But for drag'n'drop simplicity, and for reassurance of decent quality, you can't go wrong. Plus it is continually developed & improved & tweaked. Well worth my money if you ask me.

Fantastic tool. Converts just abotu anything to an NTSC or PAL DVD and does the authoring (creates menues from several template options). It even burns the results to a disc for you automatically. Highly recommeded!

I've dabbled for several years in video, lately playing with Virtualdub to add subtitles. I reached an impass using free programs when trying to add the subs to anything that wasn't an avi file. However, this program appeared to handle a slew of file types to add the subs.
After ripping the main movie from a DVD yesterday I was able to add the subtitle file (.srt) to the .vob main movie file (s) without any problem at all. Additionally the program allows one to change the properties of the subtitle file to change color, size, line spacing and more. It was easy to do all this from the novice standpoint.

The best avi to dvd converter there is.Other commenters have said there are free converters better than this,but they are wrong.This is the only program that has produced results that will fill the needs for users trying to convert avi to dvd.It produces quality dvds that will play in your dvd players.I have tried the freeware converters.DVD FLICK has problems with results playing on my dvd player.FAVC produced results that would play on my player, but the playback was not smooth it had alot of skips in it.NERO is a payware,but it produced the second best results to CONVERTXTODVD.Playbck was smooth with NERO,but quality was not as good as CONVERTXTODVD.IMHO if you want an avi to dvd converter that will produce quality results that will play back in your dvd players this is your program.

For the menus this version 3.1.0.18 finally added a live preview so you can see the menu you are creating. This makes it so much easier to use.

This is a massive improvement over version 2+. Dunno why the last poster had trouble adjusting to the new menu system. I found it a breeze. There are templates for the v2 style simple menus too, so is there one for no menu, if you want the video to start immediately. The performance improvement is at 150% over the last version if not more. I encoded the same movie (110min NTSC 16:9 AC3 5.1) using the same parameters with both the versions on a core 2 duo system. With v2.2.3.258 I was getting fps of around 75-80. With this I got fps150! The interface is certainly an improvement over the last one as well, though the structure remains more or less the same.

I would definitely recommend upgrading to v3. Ignore comments by others about a more difficult menu system. Its the other way round.

If you looking for a quick and easy way to convert your AVIs, MKVs, or whatever over to DVD this is not your program. Stick with version 2 for that. If you want to convert your whatever to DVD and have the menus appear with all kinds of glitzy bells and whistles and have plenty of spare time and patience on your hands then perhaps ConvertXToDVD 3 is the program for you.
Let's start off with quality of resulting picture. As with any converter it's a case of garbage in, garbage out. For the most part with CXD 3 (as with CXD 2) if you feed it a quality source file, it will produce excellent results in a relatively short amount of time. I can happily say that I have not experienced any sync problems in any of the disks I've made. All in all I am extremely happy with the conversion.
Where I think the program fails to deliver is with the supposed new and improved menu system that can be placed on the DVDs. Firstly, I'm not a big fan of glitzy menus to begin with and so maybe my remarks here are going to be bias against them. But I do see a place for them on occasion and with that in mind I tested them out. In two words, "overly complicated" to achieve. The first problem with the system is that you are stuck with 30 menu templates that VSO has made up. You can't design your own yet. They promise a template editor sometime in the future. Even the most simple feature like changing the font or moving the Title a little over to the left or whatever is not available to you. Actually the Text Style editor is there. It just doesn't work yet. You can make all the changes you want but it just doesn't do anything yet.
You are able to change the Title and Root menu text content itself and change the background video, picture, and audio. With some templates you can add in audio and video to the chapter icon displays. You can choose your source various ways including choosing the exact time segment of audio and video (can be separate)from the rendered video you produced or even an outside source. All these options make for a lot of work for you to enter in CXD's poorly designed tree-based option entry system. And finally the worst part is that after entering everything in, you have no way of knowing whether you have it right. The program has no preview to show you what you entered will look like. It took me half and hour to enter in all the information for a 3 titleset DVD and then I had to wait 2 hours for it to render before I was able to discover that the menus didn't turn out the way I had intended them to turn out.
In summary, if you want easily produced quality DVDs with simple menus, stick with ConvertXtoDVD 2. If you want quality DVDs with glitzy menus and are willing to put up with a lot of crap in order to get it, get this program.

V3 is pretty amazing. Testing on an 8 core machine, I was able to encode at close to 200fps! All cores were at around 50% utilization. The new menuing system is quite a step up from the previous version as well. Probably the easiest and fastest way to create DVDs from a variety of different source files.
