Do Afterdawn have a tie in with VSO? I notice critical reviews of this are removed.

Although this software is good, it does disappoint in some ways. Quality is not great (brash contrast or fuzzy compared even to WinAVI) and menu creation, although present, is extremely crude.

Also, even with recommended additional dlls it couldn't convert RMVB files correctly.

In some ways this is the best of the more simple converters. It is quick and the quality is good. (Not as good as a multipass encoder of course, but better than VSO convertX).

The problem comes when you try to convert two or more video files, keeping them as separate titles on the DVD. The option to do this exists (I'm using 7.7), but the software cannot do it.

All but the first title will be flawed and probably render the burned disc unplayable. You'll notice WinAVI misjudges the length of the files somehow.

This is a serious problem that WinAVI need to look at in an otherwise solid little app.

This is better than many one-click converters, but still poor in some respects. Occasionaly glitches in picture quality do appear in the finished DVD and the overall picture quality is high contrast and brash looking. Subtitles also glare around their edge.

ConvertXtoDVD inteprets source material well and makes the right decisions on how to transcode it. But the results are still not good enough.
