    Hello! My name is Borat! Okay, maybe it's not. But read on.

    I'm looking for a simple-to-use program to burn videos to DVD. I'm looking for simple features such as menu screens and chapters. Nothing more.

    My Inspiron 1520 came with Roxio. I didn't like it.

    I had Nero 7. I hated it.

    I currently have Ulead MovieFactory6 but it doesn't work with Windows Vista so I'll be uninstalling it in a few minutes.

    Any suggestions?

    try cyberlink power2go?? i tried it it was not "easy" imo but it did prob everything you would want and then some and after being insalled it was still only about 170mb.. and ran nice and fast. imo i still cant find anything that does what nero 7/8 does. and nothing imo that has the quality of output video or sound wise of it especially when converting avi or other formats the dvd video it simple sounds and looks the best

    i uninstalled it though due to it almost taking over the whole computer..and it also phones home every time it starts is internet is available through the new verification exe it has, this bothers me i and i was running a legit copy and even then i dont want it phoning home.. and dont get me started about scout..

    I might give Cyberlink Power2Go 6 a try.

    What I'm looking for, though, is something just like Windows DVD Maker. However, I'm actually looking for something that works properly! Windows DVD Maker constantly messes with the aspect ratio, even if I specify I want it 16:9. Also, the clips in the chapter menu always have green strips on them. That bugged me too.
