Overview
DVDFab DVD Creator is a powerful burning software that facilitates the process of creating, editing, and burning custom DVDs using virtually any video file format as an input. With all of the features one would expect in a DVD burning application, and compatibility with every type of DVD disk, this software offers a great solution to your video burning needs.
Installation
With a file size of about 20 MB, DVDFab DVD Creator consumes a moderate amount of disk space for a disk burning application. With nominal system requirements, the program will run on any computer that has a recent version of Windows installed (XP, Vista, or Windows 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit), a processor stronger than a Pentium II with a clock speed faster than 500 MHz, 512 MB of RAM, and 10 GB free disk space.
Interface
The user interface is very simplistic, yet intuitive enough for computer users of any skill level to quickly become accustomed to the functionality. At the very top youll find two filepath boxes – Source (the input video file) and Target (the output drive, directory, or disk). Along the left side of the main window youll see a frame that contains the file names and play times of video files that are being added to the disk. On the right side youll find the audio frame, which lists the language, audio codec type, and extension.
