Tipard DVD Creator is a feature-rich Windows utility that you can use to create DVD movies from various types of files, such as 3GP, AVI, VOB, MKV, MPG, MP4, MOV, RMVB, WMV and WEBM. It comprises an intuitive set of options that can be tweaked by any type of user, regardless of their previous experience with video editing tools.

Setting up the program takes little time and minimal effort. Its interface is pretty modern and intuitive, allowing users to import video files using either the file browser, tree view or drag-and-drop feature.

The file list shows the name, format, original and trimmed length, size and full path for each video. You can preview the DVD menu in the main frame, change its theme (there are several built-in images), as well as edit the menu when it comes to the background music, picture and opening film.

It is also possible to capture the screen while previewing individual clips (to JPEG, BMP or PNG), trim videos by marking the start and end positions or time values, make image adjustments (e.g. brightness, saturation, contrast), tweak the volume level, crop frames (e.g. black borders), as well as apply an image or text watermark.

Other options of Tipard DVD Creator handle configuration in regard to the audio track encoder, bit rate and channels, along with subtitle language, position, delay time, font name and size.

DVD movies can be burned to disc, or saved to DVD folders or ISO images. Before burning a disc, you can set the volume level, writing speed, number of copies and DVD type (D5 or D9). As far as output movie settings are concerned, it is possible to select the TV system type, aspect ratio, video resolution and bit rate, and ask the app to automatically add chapters at a regular time interval as well as to skip the menu.

The DVD processing tool offers multilingual support, has a good response time and carries out conversion rapidly while using low-to-moderate CPU and RAM. It delivers quality DVD movies and includes user documentation. We have not come across any issues in our tests.

To sum it up, Tipard DVD Creator is a pretty resourceful application for creating DVD movies and editing their settings.
