Any alternatives to ConvertXtoDvd

So i had been using ConvertXtoDvd for many years,But wondering if there is anything else people use that does the same kind of thing?

Freemake?

With convertx you can create menus but i dont think freemake do this.

dvdflick

? Not sure if it can make menus. Writing optical media is a thing of the past for me

Ill have a look at that one cheers

Always liked ConvertX but ive seemed to lost my backup disc,So before i pay for it again i was just seeing what else is out there.

You'll need IMGBurn or similar to put it on the disc iirc

Get a Raspberry Pi with OpenElec installed (HTPC operating system) and stream your videos from another machine, or plug a hard drive / pen drive into the Pi and stream from that.

Basically, stop using DVDs please

I wish DVDs and BluRay would die. Can't believe people still buy and use spinning, moving media. It's ridiculous with all the other better options.

Streaming is not always possible,What about for those old folks who live far away with no computer or bluray player.

Ok ill stop using DVDs as its xmas

That's easy - just tell them to buy a media player that can read from either memory cards or USB devices.

Hahahaha - if you're talking about my folks they can barely manage to work the DVD player you think they're going to figure out stuff like memory cards and USB devices? That goes for most older folk too.

Showed them a USB stick once and they stared at it like it was some kind of alien artifact.

If going Freemake, do a custom install, and de-select all the crap
