Mike, the homepage only lists lifetime licenses for purchase, so i'm assuming todays offer is also lifetime. The program doesn't need a internet connection to activate nor does it connect to the internet to check the license.

Arthur ASCII, it's Free DVD Creator. You have to activate the license to access a more advanced version called Amazing DVD Creator offered here.

"Are DVD videos (SD quality rather than HD) still widely used?"

Today Best Buy's list for movies released this week shows 49 Blu-ray vs. 81 DVD. To maybe help explain that, DVDs are easier & cheaper to produce, and there are more ways to play DVDs than Blu-ray, most all of them cheaper. Yes, a DVD you buy today will look *IMHO* marginal on the 1080p TVs that make up the majority of TVs sold, though not as bad on the cheaper 720p sets, but to a huge number of people that does not matter. Before digital HD, when everyone used analog TVs, the majority of households in the US had the color settings misadjusted, often by quite a bit, and it bothered no one.

" I am surprised anyone would pay a dime for a DVD burning program when there are so many free ones available."

AFAIK there's one open source app, DVDAuthor, for Linux, & every free DVD authoring app [& Very many paid ones] uses that, adding their own GUI, conversions [usually via ffmpeg], templates etc.

dvdauthor.sourceforge[.]net/

" It may be easier to pirate them via file sharing but millions do still buy them!"

FWIW... Streaming may be the most convenient -- buy a movie & it's often available via several streaming services on all sorts of devices [there are even Windows apps] -- but it's often the most expensive, with movies costing more than most DVDs & many Blu-rays, at least initially when 1st released. But streaming requires a good internet connection with plenty of bandwidth, which loads of people, including in the US, do not have. Blu-ray is highest quality, because you can't squeeze the usually around 40 GB through the pipes for streaming, & it makes for a Long download, even on broadband, *If/when* you find it e.g. via torrent. Downloading a DVD is bad in that respect at often 6-7 GB in original format. You can convert it of course, making downloads quicker & requiring less storage space, but to combat that Hollywood makes sure retail DVDs are marginal quality that look IMHO just nasty after conversion. So for many I imagine a DVD on sale is an ideal compromise.

Brian,



The video DVDs you buy normally have DRM, & while that DRM is much less intensive than what's used for Blu-rays, it is still evolving, with new schemes that not every decryptor can handle, at least initially. Amazing DVD Creator may not include a decryptor, so you can only convert DVDs without DRM, or it may just not be able to handle your DVD. You can find alternatives here, though note that some listed have been out of development for years. videohelp[.]com/software/sections/decrypters-dvd-rippers
