My grandmother does this for some reason.

Thanks, it didn't have the burner itself, but as an add-on which seems to have worked much better than Ashampoo.

when i was messing with it a while ago, it burned directly from the program. but whatever works.

IMGBurn is a good burning program as well if you get VideoPad to export the DVD files.

Oops, my mistake, it does burn directly, but not with menus which I needed. The add-on had the menus. Just finished double checking all the edits and cropping any static out. Just need to do the encoding of my edits and then burn them all. Sadly, even with a relatively modern PC, I found that I can't tell Lightworks to encode more than one file at a time or else it just brings everything else to a crawl.

Dammit, I waited a bit too long after making the first test disc, and it turns out Videopad/Express Burn was only a trial version. I guess I'll just give my sister the flash drive with the videos on them and she can burn them herself if she really wants to.

too bad if they changed the program. there was a way to say you were using it for non-commercial use and it would just always allow you to use it.


have you tried the Windows 7 version of Windows Movie Maker? Not sure if you are using the older version that existed on Vista (came packaged with the OS, not a separate download like the Windows 7 version was)

I've found a workaround. Unlike most trial versions of programs, this one just forgets it was ever installed if you just uninstall and reinstall it. It will disable itself again, though I'm not sure if it was after whatever amount of burns or whatever amount of time. I'm currently burning the 11th disc of 12, and then I'll be done with that.

Of course, now my mother wants a copy of the discs too (I made her a flash drive with them, but she wouldn't know what to do with that.) Have to figure out an easy way to just copy the discs I already made since I don't want to have to wait for the encodes again.

Any disc copy program will work. Your home videos DVDs aren't copy protected.
