ConvertXtoDVD. I've been using it for years. It requires nothing else for the install -- ie., it's standalone, you don't require to work out with various drivers or codecs. One thing that bugs me is that I purchased a license for it online (version 2). Amazing software -- then right after they release version 3. I finally upgrade and pay again. Then they freaking release version 4 and for the love of God... they want me to pay again. I don't need to move up to version 4. Tried the bata and saw no difference. Either way if you have to get it from scratch, get the latest of course. Try the free version for a month and see if does what you want.
It's very simple to use. You can drag and drop the files, folders etc.
You can create your own charpters, breaks, how the DVD will play (rght to movie or to menus etc.). I have never batched any so I cannot attest to that if it can do that. Anyhow for me at least it's the best -- never had a DVD that would not play after. It can convert to DVD from ANY source.
I am sure there are others, but that has been my fav for ever.
