    None of it. I use ImgBurn to burn and FAVC to author (from AVI) or GUI for DVD author for MPEG2.

    You can change the encoding and burning speeds but personally I have the slowest encoding and burning set as speed isn't an issue to me. I'd rather get a good copy than one that might be jumpy.

    Hi folks,

    THANKS for everyone's input so far. I don't see anyone giving a Thumbs Up for the "BlindWrite" software ... I had heard it is the BEST for backing up my Games CDs!!!

    @ Crank ...What version of ConvertxToDVD are you using!?!?

    Thanks,

    G! :)

    Hi Oly,

    Thanks for your reply ... I actually have tried FAVC 64-bit and it is a NO GO!Also have tried some pointers from different websites on replacing the MediaInfo version and that didn't help either.

    No big deal ... I just dropped FAVC and use the "DVD Flick" if I need to convert anything ... works like a charm every time and FAST too!

    I hardly do any conversions ... it is just I like to test out various Software and play around!

    G! :)
