Convert video files to DVD with DVD Flick
DVD Flick aims to be
a simple but at the same time powerful DVD Authoring tool. It can take a number
of video files stored on your computer and turn them into a DVD that will play
back on your DVD player, Media Center or Home Cinema Set. You can add
additional custom audio tracks, subtitles as well as a menu for easier navigation.
Main Features
- Burn near any video file to DVD
- Support for over 45 file formats
- Support for over 60 video codecs
- Support for over 40 audio codecs
- Easily add a menu
- Add your own subtitles
- Easy to use interface
- Burn your project to disc after encoding
- Completely free without any adware,
spyware or limitations.
The respectable
freeware review site Freeware Genius has rated the utility 5 out of 5. Here is excerpt
from their review:
This program will
let you (a) combine a single file or multiple files into a playable DVD, (b)
add subtitles, and (c) add secondary audio tracks. It has a number of definite
strengths, as follows:
- Simple, straightforward interface
design. It is remarkable how simple and intuitive this UI is, especially
for a DVD authoring tool. This alone is reason enough for me to switch to
this program.
- Will convert almost any video file,
which means that you are extremely likely to be able to put any video that
you may have on your hard drive on DVD. This is not to be taken for
granted, as I recently tried to convert a video file to DVD using another
favorite program of mine, AVI2DVD, only to find that it was not able to
handle the audio.
- A partial list of supported formats are
as follows: AVI, MPG, MOV, WMV, ASF, FLV, Matroska and MP4. Supported
codecs are amongst others, MPEG-124 (Xvid, DivX, etc.), Windows Media
AudioVideo. MP3, OGG Vorbis, H264, and On2 VP56.
- You can convert to ISO image on hard
disk if you do need want to burn to DVD or there’s not one handy.
One thing that this
program does not have is the option to create a title menu with custom
backgrounds and/or music. My guess (from looking at the program’s feedback
page) is that this will be coming in a future version. In any case if you must
have this use AVI2DVD.

AMD processor, or better. A Pentium IV or later is recommended, the faster
