Photos and video cassettes carry valuable memories that are very importnant to us. We keep them safe in some drawer and want to watch them from time to time to remember the best moments of our lives. But times have changed and, if you want to be able to watch our memories again in a few years' time without the fear of destroying them we have to align ourselves to the needs and requests of our modern society and transfer all these old files on more reliable and durable storage equipment like the DVDs. Hard drives are very good for storing digital files, but accidents do happen and you could end up with nothing. Usually those having still VHS are not computer experts and find it difficult to use an editing software, so the best solution for them is the DVD authoring software. This kind of software helps you turn your video files and captures from your computer into DVD compatible files that you can play any time and, at the same time, gives you the possibility to organize all the files in a very useful manner, setting up an easy and handy menu with all the necessary features like animated thumbnails for example
After I searched the internet for a while looking for the best DVD authoring software, I found the best rated applications, according to the amount of sales: 1. DVD Movie Factory, 2. Sony DVD Architecht Studio, 3. AVS DVD Authoring, 4. Womble Easy DVD, 5. Roxio MyDVD, 6. TMPGEnc DVD Author, 7. DVD-Lab, 8. ShowBiz DVD, 9. Power Producer, 10. WinX DVD Author.
Of course all these software applications have both common features and distinct features, but each of you should choose the one that fits them best: if you are a beginner try to purchase the most simple and easy to use version, whereas if you are a little bit more into it, you can certainly use more sophisticated DVD authoring software. Of course the price is important, too, but in this case the variation of price is not very significant.
In any case, a good DVD authoring software package should have a very easy to use interface, be easy to install and have a lot of features. It is better to have more options when creating the menu, like background and button templates. It is also a good choice to chapter your videos in order to find a certain fragment or video very quickly. You can also benefit from such features as: the possibility to add background images, text and music and also animate thumbnails for a funnier effect. It may be a good idea to have some basic image editing tools and , at the same time, have the possibility to both play the video compilation obtained or burn it on a DVD for future use or storage. But all the features in the world don't make up for bad image quality , so make sure you get the best quality copy of your home videos.
You may want to read some more reviews of such software or compare prices here, shop for the lowest price or try a demo version. After that make up your mind and purchase the best one for you.
