The program tells you what encoding quality it is choosing, so if you added videos with so much time that it kicks into a lower quality mode, you can pull video(s) out to get higher quality with less time. You can add up to 6, maybe 8, hours of raw video files, and Burning Studio 10 will automatically encode at lower quality to fit on the disc. If you have a 1 hour video, it uses the highest quality. It automatically chooses the encoding quality necessary to fit to a DVD disc.
The full version adds these two major items:ฤก) The full version has a DVD-Video creating module that lets you drag-and-drop raw video files in, most any kind - AVI, MOV, MP4 - and the program will fit them, convert them, and burn a DVD-Video disc to play on regular DVD players. Here are the differences, or the main differences, between this free "Burning Studio 2010 Advanced" and the full "Burning Studio 10": This free version is based on version 10. I've been a paid registered user of this for a long time, since version 6 at least. Thanks again GAOTD and Ashampoo for a good program you are offering, for me that is quick. Since I am looking for an external drive, since my 500GB PC is just about filled up with goodies in addition to my artwork, this type of drive might be just my alley. We senior geeks have to keep on top of the stuff you know - like LightScriber Drivers. Keeps me informed of what's new out there in cyberland. I received announcements from Ashampoo and I appreciate getting them.
My download and registration was flawless and very quick. So this was one of the first things I checked and found it under the "Create/Burn Disc Image" - so I'm happy. Was interested in the above comment about no ISO. I was able to download a complete file to my DVD+R :) and the down load was very quick. Downloaded the Ashampoo Burning Studio 2010 and this one is also great. Ashampoo Commander 5 and Ashampoo Burning Studio Free 6.77.
I have two software programs by Ashampoo.
