How to Use ConvertXtoDvd

After trying out numerous of DVD burners and converters I have to say that my favorite of all time is ConvertXtoDvd. In this article I’ll show you how to use it to burn your favorite movies, so it can be played on DVD player.

First of all, go here to download the software. You can try it for free; the only drawback is that it places a small icon on the screen of the burnt movie. If you like it, then you can buy it later to get rid of this icon.

After you download it, start the installation. You should be okay to go with the most custom installation, the only place you really have to pay attention is when it asks you what region you are from and to what format you wish to burn. Europe and the United States have different zones on their DVD’s, so go with the one appropriate for you.

After this is done finish the installation and launch application. A small window appears, with a white screen in the middle. On top are the settings and options, and to the right are shortcuts. It might be a good idea to look over these, so you can get better accustomed to the software.

When you feel comfortable with the software either go to File-Add Video File, or click the green “+” sign to the right. This lets you browse through your computer so you can choose the video file that you wish to burn. Find the file that you want and then hit enter or click open.

You should now see a couple of things on the white screen of ConvertXtoDvd. The first thing should be “Menu – “My DVD”. Click the + sign in front of it and you get a list of options.

The custom menu title of the DVD is “My DVD”. By double clicking Title, you can change this to whatever you wish. Further down under Title Font you can also change the Font and Color. If you have a specific background you wish to use you can add this by double clicking on Background.

The same settings as well as more can be applied to the video file itself. If you click the + sign in front of the video file you can choose to remove the audio, add subtitles, edit chapters, change the name of the video file etc.

If you don’t want to change anything, or when you’re done put in a DVD in your computer’s burner and click Convert. This will allow the program to first convert the video file to DVD, and then later burn in on to the DVD. If you just want the program to convert without burning, go to settings and under the tab Burning tick off Burn result to DVD.

Depending on the size of the video file the program will run for a while, then your movie will get burned and you’re ready to go watch it on your DVD player!
