Exporting A Movie And Burning To Disc:
Export Movie:
Selecting the 'export" function will open a file selector dialog. In this dialog you get to chose where to store your edited movie files (see screenshot below.)

Pressing the select button starts off the 'export" function. Once again DvdReMake Pro performed very well and exported the file set in 2 minutes 51 seconds.

Once exporting the file set had completed. Opening the destination folder confirmed the file set had exported without problems, and also confirmed the file set would burn onto a Single Layer blank DVD media (see screenshot below.)

The file set produced for this disc of course will fit on a Single Layer blank DVD media. This of course meant no file compression was necessary, so no Video quality was lost. But what happens if the resulting file set will not fit on a Single Layer blank DVD media?
If this happens you have 3 options.
- Remove more data from the project and see if you can make the project fit on a Single Layer blank DVD media.
- Use a 3rd party compression application like DVD Shrink, as DvdReMake Pro does not support file compression.
- Instead of using a Single Layer blank DVD media, use a Double Layer blank DVD media.
Burning The File Set To disc:
DvdReMake Pro cannot burn a file set to disc. For this task a 3rd party burning application must be used. We could of course have used DVD Shrink to burn the disc. But for this test we choose to use Nero Burning Rom.
Once Nero was started we selected to burn a DVD-Video from the
'new project" wizard in Nero. Our file set was then dragged and dropped into
Nero's compilation window.
For this test we used a DataWrite Titanium 8x
blank DVD media. And the project was burned at 12x (thanks to E-Net Distribution
UK for supplying this media)
As we can see from the screenshot below, the task completed successfully in 6 minutes 17 seconds.

The resulting disc was then checked on our test PC and my set top DVD player. The disc played flawlessly on both the test PC and the set top player, and all menu functions were checked. Very cleverly DvdReMake Pro had disabled the now removed extra's menu item, and all the language selection options.
Overall Thoughts:
The playback quality of the resulting disc was awesome. Of course, no compression had been used. We also ended up with a movie backup with none of those annoying copyright messages, or the use once and forget extra's.
It would be nice for some sort of disc burning function to be available from within DvdReMake Pro. But it was no real hardship to burn the resulting file set from a 3rd party burn application.
Now let us carry out some more advanced tests with DVdReMake Pro on the nest page…

But let's first see the prices, the music availability and the flexibility of this software.
If they'll charge 99 cents or so per song then people, just forget it!


Maybe I will see you there.
