This is not your typical video editor for the PC market. The handling of MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 standards is superb. It is the perfect replacement for Windows Joke Maker and those typical video editors that are either too professional, bloated and difficult to use or too less full-featured and don't support all the common video formats. For import, MPEG Video Wizard DVD supports AVI, MPEG-1/DAT, MPEG-2/VOB, MP4 container!, WMV/ASF, RealMedia (RM/RMVB), Flash Video (FLV), QuickTime (MOV) and maybe other formats too (you only need the necessary DirectShow decoders installed-ffdshow is enough). For audio too, it supports MPEG Audio, Dolby AC3, WMA, MP3 etc. Directly trimming VCD and DVD files with frame accurate precision is possible without messing up the file's GOP. Smart encoding is supported for MPEG1/2, you can create your own export templates, it also supports exporting to AVI (Video for Windows), QuickTime (MOV) and MP4 (Normal, iPod/PSP compatible with AAC audio!). The H.264 encoding implementation is fast and decent. All exports I've done are clean, fast and usually don't fail, the video files produced are standard compatible (not like most video editing apps where the output file's header or something is broken, improperly written). The MPEG Multiplexing/Demultiplexing function is very easy to fix any GOP and AV sync errors. Lots of filters/effects are available as well as plenty of 2D and 3D transitions. A cool feature for adding default fade ins/fade outs exists which does smart rendering at only the beginning and end when exporting. The title editor is decent too with nice motion effects. The input window supports is responsive when browsing through the video file, scrubbing is supported. Batch processing of videos is also supported! A few features as of version 4.0.4 are lacking such as trimming AVI files (VirtualDub can do this), trimming WMV (Windows Media File Editor can do this) and trimming/smart rendering MP4/MPEG-4/H.264. WMV export is also sorely missed. The DVD authoring feature is quite basic, you can do basic templates but not polished fancy video menus, however creating chapters and titles separately is very well implemented. Quite a lot of attention is given to minor details in this app, is stable if you only install ffdshow and don't overload your system with codec packs resulting in codec hell. Overall, the current best *consumer-level* video editor IMHO for Windows, easy to use, quite full-featured, performance and format support is simply great! Also, it doesn't support AVCHD yet, let alone AVCHD smart rendering. The best is the customizable and flexible rightly done export options with usually crash-proof clean and fast media file exports. Unlike most video editors on the market which require special addins for Dolby AC3, MPEG-4, H.264 and sometimes even MPEG-2, this app has it all out of the box.

This program takes a great program (MPEG Video Wizard) and provides the ability to create simple DVD's from that. It doesn't create the ISO and burn; it does take on authoring the full DVD structure (video_ts folder and vob, ifo, etc files. I really enjoy how simple and intuitive this program is for me. I wish it costs a little less, but I can use this alone instead of DVDlab (which was more powerful, but had tools I honestly didn't need). I really like the simplicity of being able to not have to demux and move audio as well as video along the process. It's not going to replace more expensive software, but for editing mpeg and putting together DVD's, it would be very hard to beat this program and price point.

I tested this with a clip taken from a DVD, including Video+Audio+Subtitles - one chapter. I just tried to add fade in/out to the clip, but this application completely ignores existing subtitles in any vob file and the final dvd was without the original subtitles.

Just a brief follow-up on a previous post: MPEG Video Wizard DOES NOT require you to have Nero installed, or anything else for that matter. (Except Windows.) A beautiful little program that makes editing pre-rendered video very easy and a lot of fun.

I love this program, it allows me to make music videos or fan-made trailers of movies. But I wish that the audio track would be seperate on the timeline.

I like this program but the price is too high and it requires you to have Nero installed (which I don't use). It's not a perfect program as but it does a good job at some things.

Womble MPEG Video Wizard is a "must have" if you intend to edit MPEG Video. The newly added DVD authoring feature, however, is a real disappointment because it has extremely limited capabilities. Hopefully the next version will be better; more like TDA. NOTE: MVW DVD uses Nero to burn projects. If you don't have Nero installed, I suspect you have to close MVW DVD and open some other application to burn the folders created by MVW DVD.

Excellent excellent tool. I do a lot of video editing on Mac and I must say this gem of a tool really impressed me. MVW DVD is the best tool for removing commercials from TV captures ( eg. from Comcast DVR ) and quick authoring a DVD. Its lightning fast in editing mpeg2 directly. No reencodes means 2-3mins for removing commercials. Authoring DVD is very trivial and works very well. Cons - * expensive. Price should be made around $50-$75 * DVD authoring is limited. Cannot add video menus, only static background. * burn speed got limited to 1x. This is fixed by burning externally with Nero at 8x. Overall, a must buy if you need to remove commercials quickly and easily and make the dvd in the fastest possible time.

A step in the right direction, but would be more useful if users could output to an ISO image directly from the DVD export area. Instead, it is a 2 step process: create a DVD folder, then create an image from that. Without a way to go straight to an ISO, its pretty much worthless as an upgrade to the regular MPEG Video Wizard. For people that burn from a DVD folder, this may not be a problem. As with the original MPEG Video Wizard, some features are not explained in the help section.

As good as it is, and it does what it does exceptionally well, it is still way too expensive for what LITTLE it does. You can buy full blown video capture, edit and authoring studios from Adobe and Sony for the same price. Feature-wise, MVW or MVW DVD are no bargains. Cut the price to $45-$75 and maybe we'd have something to shout about.

Great software for that quick-and-dirty editing and/or dvd authoring job. Stable and works - only problem for me was that the burned DVD showed up as blank when I tried to play it using windows dvd software. No real biggie, I just used Nero to burn folders to DVD. Brainiac

Rocks!!! Worth the upgrade or switch over.

Well worth the small upgrade fee if you already own MPEG Video Wizard or any other Womble product,as you can now use it to encode audio to AC3 5.1 and author DVD's. Very fast as you dont need to re-encode video. Best all round MPEG editor available. Thanks Womble!!!
