Turn Your Videos into Playable DVDs with Menus

GiliSoft Movie DVD Creator turns MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, MKV, camcorder footage, and other video files into DVD projects on Windows. Bring your clips together in the intended playback order, build a menu viewers can navigate, and create a disc for home movies, weddings, school events, lessons, or presentations.

Make the menu part of the project: choose a background, button style, and frame, add your own images, menu text, and background music, and set the number of chapters shown per page. Preview the navigation before creating the final output.

Prepare each clip before authoring. Cut unwanted sections, crop or rotate the picture, adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation, load subtitles, and add text or image watermarks. Font, color, position, duration, and transparency controls help make the finished video readable and clearly branded.

Burn directly to DVD or save an ISO image or DVD folder for storage and later burning. Choose the target capacity, quality, PAL/NTSC standard, and aspect ratio for the intended playback equipment. The Movie DVD Creator user guide covers source preparation, menu design, and all three output choices.

Core DVD Authoring Features

Burn MP4 and Other Videos to DVD

Import MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, MKV, MPG, VOB, MTS, FLV, and other video sources. Arrange mixed camera, phone, and downloaded clips into the playback order for one DVD project.

DVD Menu Templates

Choose a background, button style, and frame for the DVD menu. Use a supplied template or your own image, then preview the title and navigation before creating the disc.

Disc, ISO, and DVD Folder Output

Burn directly to DVD disc or save the authored project as an ISO image or VIDEO_TS folder. This makes it easier to keep an archive copy, test output, or burn the same project later.

Trim, Crop, Rotate, and Adjust Clips

Set start and end times, remove unwanted edges, and correct orientation. Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, or effects such as Black and White, Old Film, and Pencil before authoring.

Disc Capacity and Output Quality

Choose the target DVD disc type and review the project running time and capacity estimate. Balance quality and available space before creating a long recording or multi-video collection.

PAL, NTSC, and DVD Aspect Ratio

Choose PAL or NTSC and 16:9 or 4:3 for the intended playback equipment. Preview differently shaped source videos and use letterboxing when the complete frame should remain visible.

Menu Background Music and Text

Use Add background music and Add text in DVD Menu Settings to personalize the opening menu. Prepare a wedding, school, family, or business theme with matching imagery, wording, and sound.

Chapter Menu Layout and Navigation

Set Chapters per Page to control the menu layout. Review thumbnail entries and navigation buttons so viewers can reach the intended part of a lesson, event recording, or video collection.

Subtitle Files and Visible Branding

Load subtitles and adjust font, color, and vertical position. Use Add Text or Add Picture in Watermark to prepare labels and logos with duration, transparency, and font controls.

Preview and Disc-Writing Controls

Preview source clips and the DVD menu, then choose the output destination and volume label. For disc output, review Write Speed and Copies before clicking Start.

Top How-to Guides

Choose the DVD Output You Need

DVD Disc

Create a physical DVD for viewing on a DVD player or handing to a customer, student, or family member. Use a DVD writer and suitable blank media, then check playback on the intended equipment.

ISO Image

Keep the authored DVD as one image file for storage, transfer, or later burning. Create the project without inserting a disc, and retain the menu and DVD playback structure in the image.

DVD Folder

Save the authored DVD folder structure, including VIDEO_TS files, on a hard drive. Use it for folder-based storage, project review, or a later disc-writing workflow.

DVD Projects for Families, Events, and Training

Families and home video collections

Bring camera and phone footage together with readable menus and clear playback order. Create a disc to share and an ISO or folder copy to keep with the project.

Schools and training teams

Organize lessons, demonstrations, school programs, and recorded presentations into a menu-based disc that viewers can browse without searching through one long video.

Wedding and event video makers

Prepare a DVD with a matching menu background, event title, and menu music. Trim the footage, label the project, and create the required disc copies.

Movie DVD Creator FAQ

Can I burn MP4 and other videos to a playable DVD?

Yes. Add MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, MKV, or other supported video files, arrange them in the intended order, prepare the DVD menu, and choose the disc output. Movie DVD Creator authors a DVD playback structure rather than simply copying MP4 files onto a data disc. Check the completed DVD on the intended player.

Can I customize the DVD menu and add background music?

Yes. DVD Menu Settings includes Background, Button Style, and Frame options, along with Add background music and Add text controls. Set Chapters per Page and preview the navigation so the menu is readable and each entry opens the intended video.

What is the difference between DVD disc, ISO, and DVD folder output?

DVD disc output writes the authored project to blank media and requires a DVD writer. ISO output saves the DVD as one image file for storage or later burning. DVD folder output saves the authored folder structure, including VIDEO_TS files. ISO and folder output can be created without inserting a disc.

Can I add subtitles, text, and a logo before burning?

Yes. Open Subtitle to load the matching subtitle file and set its font, color, and vertical position. Watermark provides Add Text and Add Picture controls with duration, transparency, and font settings. Preview the wording, timing, and placement before returning to the DVD project.

Should I choose PAL or NTSC and 16:9 or 4:3?

Choose PAL or NTSC for the intended playback equipment, then select the aspect ratio appropriate for the project. Preview differently shaped source videos before output. Use letterboxing when preserving the full picture is more important than filling the screen without borders.

How many videos can I fit on one DVD?

Capacity depends on the total running time, selected quality, and target disc size, not only the number of source files. Review the capacity estimate after adding videos. Trim material you do not need, adjust quality, or split a long collection across more than one disc when necessary.

Why does a burned DVD not play on my DVD player?

First check whether the disc contains an authored DVD structure or only copied video files. For Movie DVD Creator output, verify the selected PAL/NTSC standard, blank-disc type, writer, available capacity, and the player's supported media. ISO output can help separate project-authoring checks from physical disc-writing problems.

Can I make a DVD from photos and music?

Add a photo slideshow that has already been exported as a video. Movie DVD Creator authors video files into a DVD; assemble the photos and music into a slideshow video first, then import it and create the menu and DVD output. Menu background images and background music can also be customized separately.
