I just got a LG-4160B DVD burner for my best mate, so ill burn stuff all the time now!

We want to know whats the best Authoring tool, backup tool, and any other info, we´re just DVD n00bs!

I use Elby's CloneDVD for backing up my DVD's

DVDShrink is a very good program to backup dvds.

And for DVD authoring?

Sorry for reviving this, but i still need a DVD Authoring tool.
I currently have Nero Visionexpress 3, is it good enough?

NeroVision is good and pretty simple to use. DVD-Lab can make more professional looking dvd's, but is pretty hard to use without taking a deep look. Also im not sure if DVD-Lab can export avi files and such to format which dvd understands, but theres always TMPGEnc program for that. NeroVision in the otherhand has exporting function thought it cannot (atleast i didnt manage to) queue a group of videos to export. You have to export them one at time. Kinda wierd... oO

Ill take a look @DVD-Lab, for now ill stick with nerovision.
TMPGenc is a little complicated for me, even with tutorials....

anyone know how Nero is at making dvds cause i just got a dvdburner too.

Presuming you want to make DVD video discs, get nerovision express software, not nero burner, from www.nero.com
Its in package 2, if i remember correctly. Its quite simple to use, but if you need tutorial, i can write a quick one.

You can also use WinDVD Creator. It's got a good simple menu to work step by step from importing videos(AVi, MPG), authoring, and burning. It's not free though.

Can it queue multiple videos in exporting?

Can it queue multiple videos in exporting?

You can import multiple videos into your DVD's.

 

[MaZa]

I mean, can it convert multiple (for example) divx videos to format which dvd understands? Nerovision could only do one at time.

And for DVD authoring?

Sonic DVD Creator. Pretty easy for n00bs

nero is pretty good just for a main screen with sub menu's and thats about it.

personally i just use a shot of the the movie as the main menu with 10 minute chapters.
