Key features
Convert MP4 and burn it to disc in one program
The program is designed and optimized for MP4 video. It encodes your files to DVD format and then burns them with its built-in burning engine, so you don't need a separate burning tool.
Discs that play on home DVD players
The output is meant to work with DVD players, Media Centers and Home Cinema sets. It supports DVD 5, DVD 9, Mini DVD and Mini DVD DL disc types.
Your own subtitles, up to 32 per video
You can create your own subtitles, with up to 32 for each video.
Chapters you place yourself
You can create DVD chapters freely, so viewers can skip through a long recording.
A click-to-convert workflow
The interface is simple: add your videos, then click to convert and burn.
