* Can create DVD-5 and DVD-9 DVDs.
* Supports many input video formats, including HD formats.
* Can trim videos prior to creating DVD.
* Can burn the DVD directly onto a DVD disc or can create an ISO.

The Bad
* Way too simplistic; user has very limited control over settings concerning the DVD that will be created.
* Need a better color scheme for some text + background combinations because text can be very hard to read at times.
* Doesn't support drag + drop.

Like most any DVD authoring software supporting menus, Wondershare Video to DVD Converter includes an mpg2 encoder, the same brand used by video apps costing hundreds more from companies like Adobe. DVD video has to be mpg2 [as are menus BTW], so your imported video is converted to that format, then packaged in standard VOB files along with [in this case] fixed scripting in IFO files for menus & such. Wondershare's video apps are usually very good at importing a very wide range of video formats -- otherwise Video to DVD Converter is about the same as the entry level DVD authoring app bundled in Nero's burning suite. In a nutshell it gets your audio/video processed to work in a DVD player, & it gives you a very basic menu. You shouldn't be using it to create a once in a lifetime DVD of your daughter's wedding, but for a collection of recorded TV shows or downloaded video clips, it can be all you need.

The asking price for Wondershare Video to DVD Converter is IMHO about right. To put it in perspective the high end software to make retail Video DVDs costs several thousand dollars -- mid-range products from Adobe & Sony include video editors + a DVD creation app for $600-$700 [actually a price drop as the DVD part used to cost about $500 alone] -- and home versions from Pinnacle, Sonic, Adobe, & Sony usually go in the $75-$100 range. The Video to DVD Burner app Wondershare would like you to move up to is a bargain at today's GOTD pricing. As a rule of thumb, being able to use more than 1 audio track raises the price, the same as being able to use/include subtitles. And the more you can do with your menus, the more you'll pay for the privilege. You can use your own scripting, but you'll pay for that too, or face a pretty steep learning curve using PGCEdit [share-ware with nags].

That said, there are a bunch of free apps for creating DVDs too -- mostly front ends bringing together several small, specialized, & free apps into an easier to use package... there was a new version just released of AVStoDVD for example. You can find more at videohelp.com. If you want to create more advanced menus & stay with the free stuff, there's a few front ends for DVD Author. Usually the free apps aren't as easy to use, & you'll often have to learn a bit about DVDs -- not a huge obstacle [you probably should anyway if you're creating them], but one not everyone wants to climb.
