Our 2011 Member Choice Poll was conducted, below you will find the results Wikipedia defines DVD authoring as: The process of creating a DVD video that can be played on a DVD player. DVD authoring software must conform to the specifications set by the DVD Forum group in 1995. The specifications are complicated due to the number of companies that were involved in creating them. The actual layout of the files on the medium and the operations that have to be undertaken to produce a 'playable' DVD (starting with already MPEG2-coded footage) are far too intricate - and beyond the scope of this article - to be explained here, and, indeed, worlds apart from the simple process of CD-audio authoring. Strictly speaking, DVD authoring is a separate process from MPEG encoding, but most modern DVD authoring software has a built-in encoder (though separate encoders are still used when better quality or finer control over compression settings is required). There are four different levels of DVD authoring software available, from Free software to Studio Professional to Corporate Professional to finally Home programs. The OSes range from Windows, MAC to Linux. Below are some of those offered to the general public, either for free or pay-to-use programs. Most authoring applications are for video DVDs only; they do not support the creation of DVD-Audio discs. According to Wikipedia DVD-Audio is a digital format for delivering high-fidelity audio content on a DVD. DVD-Audio is not intended to be a video delivery format and is not the same as video DVDs containing concert films or music videos. There are special DVD-Audio authoring software available strictly for Audio only disc Now, I present you with our 2011 winners: • First place was NERO with a clear lead • Second runner up was, surprisingly, "none" • Third place saw a three way tie between Roxio Creator (Windows only), Windows DVD Maker (Vista) & ConvertXtoDVD Other choices we examined: •DVD Flick (Windows only) •DVD Styler (Windows or Linux or MAC) •AVStoDVD (Windows only) •Small DVD (MAC only) •'Q' DVD-Author (Linux only) •Bombono DVD (Linux & Windows) •DeVeDe (Linux only) •DeVeDe (Windows only) •DVDAuthorGUI •Videotrans •Tovid •DVD Wizard •iDVD (Apple only) •Cyberlink Media Suite •Corel Video Studio •Corel Digital Studio •CyberLink Power Director •Gear Software •Pinnacle Studio •Roxio Toast (MAC only) •TMPGEnc DVD Author •Ulead DVD MovieFactory •Windows DVD Maker (Win7 only) •WinDVD Creator •DVD Studio Pro 4 (Apple) •Sonic Scenarist •MyDVD •Adobe Encore •DVDit •MPEG Video Wizard •Simple DVD Creator •SVCD2DVD •bbMPEG,ConvertXtoDVD •D2MP •Free Video Converter •multiAVCHD •ProCoder 3 •Quick Media Converter •Cinelerra •Nero Linux •VideoLAN Movie Creator •123 DVD Maker •Colorful DVD Creator •Easy Movie DVD Creator •Joboshare DVD Creator •Smart DVD Creator •Super DVD Creator •Ultra DVD Creator •Video DVD Maker •ZC DVD Creator
