A quick note to say that DVDflick worked. I got the video's made - just in a nick of time (bc. I have a full day conference tomorrow). Now my daughter can bring her friend the videos (and scrapbook). DVDflick was amazingly easy compared to other things I tried. Once on the program, I printed the 6 page guide - which explained most of what I needed to know. Two things I had to figure out myself - and am posting here for others who may try this. 1 - on the Configure your Project tab, there are settings for video. If you want to change the resolution/file size (as I did to fit a 45 minute video on a standard dvd), you can adjust the bit rate). 2 - I would recommend on the burning settings (also under configure your project tab), choose to have it burn it to dvd, and verify, and eject. The first dvd I made I only selected burn it and verify. It burned it - ejected, reinserted and played it. But then the dvd tray was locked and couldn't be opened. This is somewhat frequent occurence with disc burning software - which wants to prevent you from accidentally opening the tray before it's done. The only way I could open the tray was to shut the computer, and hit the open disk tray button as it was rebooting. The next video I made, I selected eject when done - and it ejected it. For a while I thought the tray was broken - and tried the usual methods to release - like the paper clip in the tiny hole near the tray. And going to my computer, d:, eject disk. Nothing worked bc. the software was preventing it. Once my disk was ejected - and the software closed, the open and close tray works fine with other programs. Thanks so much. This was a great program. Just curious if convertxtodvd would get me additional features. I can see burning many dvd's for people (we seem to be the videographers of many social gatherings and I'd like to give dvd's to people who were part of the plans). DVDflick worked great - but I don't mind paying a little if it gets me more features. Any thoughts? Thanks so much. You saved me. Lynn.

I like Roxio too. However, if you wish to research go to Filehippo.com. In the right column there are offerings for DVD-CD applications. Some are lite, some are trial, and some are full. I can't tag the site as our filters here at work block download sites. Also, when you load a disk in the drive doesn't Windows Explorer provide a window with a list of installed applications and ask which to use? Finally, the default programs for various file formats can be changed. DA

The full version will be able to do everything you can do now and will also be able to do some additional things. If you don't need those features, you can ignore them and use the software as you used the old free version. The link you gave is for Roxio 2009 (if they had continued numbering sequentially, it would be version 11). One additional feature it has over the basic is that it can burn DVDs from Tivo and convert Tivo files to play on mobile devices. You can get the full version 9 for around $25 on ebay (it also does Tivo to DVD, but I don't think it does the auto-convert to ipod thing).

owbist ... my laptop is vista x86...the program was purchased at Best Buy and worked perfect without any problems for a year until Kaspersky found it to be vulnerable at which time I tried to download the update from roxio's web site and was informed I received a trojan which was taken of. The reason I wanted uninstalled was to possibly get the updated needed when reinstalling. I have included the website of how I uninstalled the program. http://kb.roxio.com/search.aspx?URL=/content/kb/Creator/000127CR&PARAMS= The only error message I am getting when trying to reinstall is "uninstall is incomplete"....that's it...nothing else. If possible I will wait to use Revo until I see if you are able to make heads or tails out of this uninstall. thanks everyone.
