I need is a way to convert the .mpg files and create a DVD that will play on a DVD player. I'll look at both options. Any opinions on which works best? The old software on Win7 was very user friendly.
You don't typically need to master a movie disc to play movies on a modern DVD or (hopefully) Blu-ray player. Most players have a multimedia option that will allow you to pick files off of the disc for playback.
I have a non blu-ray dvd player. I was using the software that was in Win7. I would set the quality and add files until it reached the disc capacity and it created a DVD with titles. I'd kinda like to stay with something like that. Your right, I could only get about an hour on each disc.
As much fuss as it is to master and burn a disc, it may pay off to buy a $45 Blu-ray player and have the added time capacity and format flexilbility with the same cheap media.
I offered three examples of mastering software if you're committed to not upgrading.
No, I meant Blu-ray players. DVD players are perhaps as easy or easier to find but don't offer the value that most Blu-ray players do (upconversion, newer formats, streaming).
