Part 1: DVDSyler Tutorial - How to Use DVDStyler<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n
As one of the few free DVD burner software tools, DVDStyler has been widely accepted and used for authoring DVD content. It allows not only burning of video files on DVD that can be played practically on any standalone DVD player, but also creation of individually designed DVD menus. It is Open Source Software and is completely free. <\/p>\n
Firstly, let’s see how DVDStyler works. The below guide will show you how to use DVDStyler to author a DVD in detail. This tutorial describes the steps necessary to creating a DVD using DVDStyler. <\/p>\n
Create a new project<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n![\"create-a-new-project-02\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" "\\"create-a-new-project-02\\"")
<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n- \n
- Select a “Create a new project” in the welcome dialog. <\/li>\n
- Enter the disc label (it will be displayed only on computer). <\/li>\n
- Select capacity of your DVD: 4.7 GB (Single Layer DVD) or 8.5 GB (Double Layer DVD). <\/li>\n
- Choose the video format: NTSC is recommended for North American countries and Japan, PAL for all other. <\/li>\n
- After this click "OK". <\/li>\n
- Finally you can enter a title for DVD menu and select a template.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
Add movie clips<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n- \n
- Click on the “File Browser” tab on the left side of the program window. <\/li>\n
- Navigate-to and highlight the directory that contains your movie clips. An icon for each clip will be displayed at the right of directory tree. <\/li>\n
- Drag the desired movie clips (left-click, hold, and drag) onto the Titleset Manager at the bottom of the program window. <\/li>\n
- You can also add movie clips using file dialog or by dragging from any file manager like Windows Explorer. <\/li>\n
- Available space on DVD is displayed in the status line at the bottom of application window. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
On one single layer DVD (4.7 GB) can be stored up to 126 minutes of video in good quality (Video bitrate over\u00a04.5 MB\/s). If you selected “Auto”\u00a0as video quality in new-project dialog, it is also possible to put more than 126 minutes but quality of video will be automatically reduced. <\/p>\n
Design a DVD menu (optional)<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n- \n
- Click the "Backgrounds" tab on the left side of the program window and select a DVD menu background image by double-clicking on an image in the "Backgrounds" panel. <\/li>\n
- You can also select your own background image for DVD menu: click the "File browser" tab, open directory that contains your image file and select the image by double-click. <\/li>\n
- Add a menu title: right-click on Menu Editor, select "Add", "Text" and enter the title. With the provided handles, re-position the text as desired. Font and size of title can be changed in text properties dialog, which is accessible by double-click on text. <\/li>\n
- Click on the "Buttons" tab on the left-hand edge of the program window and insert a button by dragging (left-click, hold, and drag) a button into the Menu Editor. <\/li>\n
- Edit the button properties (action, title, color, font, etc) by double clicking on the button in the Menu Editor and changing appropriate properties. When finished, click "OK" to return to the Menu Editor. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
Save the project<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h3>\n
A DVD has now been configured. Click on the save button to save the project. <\/p>\n
\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n- \n
- Click on burn button. <\/li>\n
- If you want to preview the finished DVD before burning, please select the box "preview". <\/li>\n
- Insert an empty disc and select a corresponding drive. Then click "Start" to start burning. <\/li>\n
- If you selected "preview", a preview will be started after creating of DVD (but before burning). <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
Then, you only need to wait for the burning process to complete. You need to note that the DVD creation process can take several hours. <\/p>\n
Part 2: Review of the DVDSyler<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n

- \n
- Create and burn DVD video with interactive menus <\/li>\n

- Copy any menu object or whole menu <\/li>\n
- Customize navigation using DVD scripting <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It’s a wonderful and free DVD creator tool that could help you easily create a DVD disc. However, it also has its own disadvantages as well, listed below: <\/p>\n
- \n
- Menu Buttons: Whilst the inbuilt buttons for the menu are great, it would be nice to have more of them for some extra choice when creating menus. <\/li>\n
- Burning Speed: Whilst it is very easy to create a DVD in DVDStyler, it sometimes can be a little slow in rendering and burning the DVD. <\/li>\n
- Simplicity: This one is both a pro and a con depending on who the user is. The ease of use makes this software very beginner friendly. However, for more advanced users, DVDStyler may not have enough options to satisfy. Perhaps adding some advanced options later could be a way to remedy this. <\/li>\n
- Audio Options: DVDStyler is restricted to only two audio format options, something very much in contrast to the video compatibility which is very extensive indeed. Adding in other audio formats could be a great way to improve the software in future iterations. <\/li>\n
- Installation: DVDStyler comes with ad support that offers to install a toolbar during the installation process. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
As a free DVD burning software, it seems that we should have no other requirements on it. However, to fulfill our needs, we still need some DVDStyler alternatives. <\/p>\n
