Create a DVD from any video format

Ever wanted to create a DVD from one of your video files? DVDforger is a DVD authoring application which creates DVDs from almost any kind of video file as long as the right video codecs are installed.

DVDforger supports multiple titles with multiple audio tracks, subtitles and a simple menu. In essence, it’s basically a GUI for a set of free tools including AviSynth, HC Encoder, Aften and DVDauthor. At the end of the process, you should have a DVD complete with menus and separate chapters.

One big advantage of this program is that, to avoid copying huge files, it’s not necessary to directly record the film onto a disc as you can simply store it as an image ISO. Another big plus is that it comes preconfigures for conversion of various formats so you don’t need to waste precious time setting it up. However, although it claims to support all formats, you may find yourself having trouble working with Quicktime and Realplayer files and there may be others.

No installation is now required – just unpack the .zip file and run DVDforger.exe. However, you have to have AviSynth, a video frameserver, installed on your computer. If you don’t, DVDforger will automatically install AviSynth when it’s first started (it asks for permission first).
