Creating DVDs from video files

[RobM77]

Can anyone give any guidance on creating DVDs watchable on a DVD player from video files? I've downloaded an excellent piece of freeware called "DVD Burning Express", which will put a video file onto a DVD, and it works brilliantly, but it's really picky about the formats - I think I only have one or two videos it will work with. I've tried converting but it's still too picky! Is there an easy way to do this?

Nero Burning ROM will do this and doesn't seem to give a monkeys about the input format, it'll just transcode it and spit it out.

Erm... DeVeDe is one of the multitude of Linux software... it might have a Windows version, but to be honest not looked at Windows stuff.

Have you got a link? 'Cos all I can find is a Shareware program NOT freeware

I use Nero's "Nero Vision". Quite handy for doing quick DVD's

Nero here as well - a customer uses it with a Sony HDD camcorder as the Sony software is poor (as usual).

My apologies, yes, it is shareware. The limitation on the trial version though are only on the number of files you burn. So far I've burnt none because it doesn't work with 90% of my video files!!!

I think Nero is the answer I'll buy a copy soon. Thank you for your replies.
