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!

App 4: ImgBurn

ImgBurn is one of the best lightweight CD burning applications for Windows.
It allows you to read, create an image file and write image files to CDs, DVDs or Blu-Ray discs.

It supports plenty of image file formats including .bin, .cue, .img, and .dvd and many more.
Additionally it can burn Audio and Video CDs/DVDs.
ImgBurn is very easy and simple to use, and I highly recommend it for your burning needs.
