You can you use images as buttons and snap them to a grid or align them so they are straight but you cannot put a title underneath a picture for a video clip. As prices of DVD writers are coming down, it would be better to stick to creating DVDs on blank DVD discs with the appropriate writer.Ĭreating menus for your video discs doesn't take long, as there are templates for your designs but unlike Nero, you cannot edit the designs. Neither of my DVD players recognised the disc I created as a DVD, instead seeing it as an MP3 CD-R with no mp3 files, but PowerDVD on my PC played it fine. You can create a full mouse over item menu system like DVDs, but you are limited to 20 minutes of video. The program can create mini-DVDs, which use the same MPEG-2 file format of regular DVDs, but burns them on CD-Rs. This program also handles restoring single big files split over multiple discs correctly and in the right order. You don't need to manually search for the correct disc, just select it from the interface and it will prompt you for the CD it needs. Each CD burnt uses a FileOnCD program, which lists all files created in the set.

Overspan on data CDs has been changed since version 5. To get the split in the correct place, you need to create each file as a separate Video CD. two 500Mb files will be split to a 500Mb+200Mb on one disc, and 300Mb on the other, instead of 500Mb on each disc. If you create Video CDs like this, the program will split the files according to the total size, i.e. If you are using CD-Rs or CD-RW (and not DVDs) and you want to write more than 700Mb of data, you can overspan the files. Once you have selected your project, you get the same main screen, tailored to the project you are using. You still have five different types of project, namely Video, Audio, Album, Data or Copy, but these are subdivided into additional options like audio CD, MP3, Video CD, DVD. Thankfully this one does not, but it means you still have to select a project even if you just want to erase a CD-RW. Some people might find this easier to use than the tabbed window format of WinOnCD 5, but for me it's more like going back to the projector selector interface of EZ CD Creator, which always appeared after you closed a project. All the tools you need are put together in the one interface, and when you start the program, you see a floating selection window with the different types of disc you can make. This has now been upgraded to version 6, with a special DVD Edition. Roxio is already well known for its Easy CD Creator package, but when it purchased German company Cequadrat it added another CD authoring product to the range: WinOnCD.
