Burn downloaded videos easily with DVDCoach Express
One of the most frequent questions I get asked by retail customers is "Where can I get a program that burns my movies?" Nine times out of ten they actually mean "the movies I downloaded with Limewire."
If you're in the same boat and need a nice, simple app to convert and burn your downloaded video files to DVD, take a look at DVDCoach Express.
It's a free application for Windows that utilizes ffmpeg to handle conversion duties. The process is straightforward: drag your videos onto the file pane, set your encoding options, and start your task. Options are kept to a minimum: you can select PAL or NTSC, 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, and the encoding quality.
DVDCoach's simplicity is key, because I've already got enough software support calls to answer.
On the high setting, four 150mb clips converted and burned in about 40 minutes. It runs on XP and Vista, and didn't have any issues on my x64 install.

There's also "DVD Flick", which is another free, simple DVD authoring tool that uses FFMPEG engine. While I haven't tried DVD Coach, I'm an avid user of DVD Flick, which seems to have a few more features than DVD Coach (?), including the ability to add DVD menus to your compilation (though it's not required).

I am a regular user of dvd flick but I do find the UI a bit lacking.
I'm interested to see how this app looks.

...is this REALLY necessary? I have NEVER needed to do this - not even to an ISO file.

Does this work with XviD and DivX files?

"...But you wish to come back to the DVD format for a higher quality..."
Direct quote from their website. So, are they saying they upconvert the files to higher quality? For free?!
This is also their only product listed, and they don't have any ads... I'm not too sure if I trust it. Has anyone noticed if this ads any spyware?

I PERSONALY STILL LIKE "DVD SANTA " THE BEST PROGRAM FOR BURNING DVD'S .
I 'VE TRIED THEM ALL AND THIS IS THE FASTEST AND MOST COMPLETE APPLICATION I HAVE FOUND OUT THERE.
IT CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT IT TO DO,JUST ABOUT ANY FORM OF AVI,XID OR OTHERS TO A DVD IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.
IT CAN COPY 9.4 DVD MOVIES TO A 4,7 MOVIE AND COMPRESS WHAT NEEDS TO BE.
BEST PART IS THESE DVD'S PLAY ON YOUR DVD PLAYERS.
THE PROGRAM DOES COST A LITTLE BUT IT IS WORTH IT.
GO TO THEIR WEB SITE AND READ ABOUT IT..JUST TYPE "DVD SANTA "IN GOOGLE TO GET THERE.
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY,,,
