App 6: DVD Flick (Windows)

I don't have a complete Media Center PC hookup in my house, so in order to watch a file that I have on my PC, on my TV, I would have to burn it to disc using a DVD authoring tool like iDVD.

However for those without Macs DVD Flick is a free Windows alternative. It's simple to use and offers incredible a huge list of compatible video formats. According to DVD Flick's website it features:

• Burn near any video file to DVD
• Support for over 45 file formats
• Support for over 60 video codecs
• Support for over 40 audio codecs
• Easily add a menu
• Add your own subtitles
• Easy to use interface
• Burn your project to disc after encoding
• Completely free without any adware, spyware or limitations

The program is very easy to use, and you can begin making a DVD in seconds!
I particularly like how drop-dead easy it is. Combined with HandBrake, I can make copies of my favourite movies, or episodes from a DVD, that I can play on my own computer, or media device, then burn to DVD to watch on my TV. Great!
