Burning TV Shows to DVD
John talks about burning missed TV shows to DVD. I've had an almost identical experience, where the DirecTV signal went out and my TiVo missed a show or two, so I found the torrent and wanted to burn it to DVD.
My hard drive is littered with expired trial software for "easy DVD burning", and a whole bunch of free tools that each do one specific thing. All the trial software sucked, and I always forgot how to string all the free tools together to go from a divx-encoded avi all the way to a mastered DVD.
Then I tried the trial for NeroVision Express 3, part of the (deep breath) Nero 6 Ultra Edition Major Update Version 6.6. And it was amazing. Just pick the movies you want on the DVD, a reasonable template, and go. It handles all the re-encoding, menu building, and burning. Perfect for all the times when you don't really care about creating the perfect navigation scheme and just want to get something reasonable on DVD in a minimum amount of time.
It's so good, I (gasp!) actually bought it. Well, not exactly -- good enough that it went on my Amazon wish list and someone bought it for me (thanks Christian!). But this is the first tool for making DVDs (other than Premiere Pro) actually worth paying for, imho.
