Summary: Disappointing.
Comment: Just purchased this software to turn my homemade movies into DVDs. The software doesn't recognize my videos downloaded onto the computer because they are in AVI format. I used the free SDcopy software to change them into MPEG format, but the NTI DVD Maker tells me they are now in MPEG-1 format, and they need to be in MPEG-2. In order to convert them into MPEG-2 files I'll need to buy an additional MPEG-2 plug-in from NTI on their website for $15. Now, I'm new to this whole digital video thing and in my naivete I expected the NTI CD/DVD Maker to handle all aspects of DVD burning. Kind of one-click-does-it-all deal. Apparently it does not, and it requires the additional purchase of a video file converter. This is disappointing, and I just started with this software. I'm wondering if there's anything better out there in the market.

Summary: Very Good and simple to use
Comment: I was using Nero brfore getting this program. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles as Nero but it is a lot easier to use. It is also cheaper than Nero. If you need a good simple program for burning CDs and DVDs this is the one.

Summary: NTI Media Maker 8
Comment: CD & DVD Maker 7 has been updated to a new suite of tools called NTI Media Maker 8. Media Maker 8 has virtually any tool necessary in working with CDs or DVDs. In addition to burning and ripping audio, video, photos, and data, it provides a built-in backup utility called NTI Backup Now. The package also includes tools for editing audio files, creating slideshows and jewel case labels. You can burn data, audio, mixed-mode (a combination of data and audio tracks), standard video formats in additional to Blu-ray. The backup utility allows you to back up to any device writeable device on your system (hard disk, flash drive, CD or DVD). The program has a rather interesting wheel-style interface, which clearly labels any function that you wish to perform. When you click on one of the buttons, another wheel pops up to display a number of specific tools available in that category (i.e., Audio allows you to rip a CD, create an audio CD or an MP3 CD, create a music DVD, record from your microphone or line-in jack, or edit an audio file.) I found all of the tools to be easy-to-use and logically laid out. During my testing, the software performed as expected and the burned CDs and DVDs performed flawlessly in other devices. This is an excellent tool for all of your burning needs.

Comment: Had a little problem on the beginning trying to get it to install. Had to reboot my computer and then I had no problem. I really like the software. I would highly reccommend it. They were real prompt on shipping it to me.
