Need a simple one-step dvd creation software

I've got a lot of video clips laying around, everything from DivX/xVid clips downloaded off the Internet to mpg files off my digital recorder. Is there some software that can quickly and easily create DVDs out of these video clips (one clip per DVD) without any hassles of creating menus or first having to convert things with yet more software?
 
There's no way to get around re-encoding the clips. The files have to be DVD compliant.

You can buy a DVD player that will read DIVX/XVID. There are a few that do.

If you just wanted to play these in your own home, maybe a network media player would be a better choice for you.
 
well, i was hoping that if there is any re-encoding to do that this imaginary software would handle it. I am imagining somehting like Acoustica MP3 cd creator for DVDs... you know, you open up the app, pop in mp3 files or wav files whatever, and then click burn. Done. It handles making sure everything gets decompressed into wav files for you automatically.


 
DVD creation is all about Menus and stuff - there is no easy one step way...

Although if you want to create just a MPEG file and burn a DVD with no menus... they you can try TMPGEnc tools. with these you can create a MGEP DVD file from a avi file and burn a DVD with it... You can use TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress

Not true, you can create DVDs without menus and crap. I have one sitting here actually, I haven't had a chance to try it in a console player yet but I can't see why it wouldn't work.
 
Agree with Nothinman. I exchange music libbraries with a fied. We can put dozens of complete albums in MP3 format on a DVD - and that makes a great archive, and they will also play from there. No menus involved - just create a folder for each album, and they can be nested in other folders.

My friend uses Nero - I use EMC 9.

That's different, apparently both of your players play MP3s as well as DVDs. That's probably common but I wouldn't really know, but I was taking about MPEG2 video. There's no reason that a video DVD should require a menu, if there isn't one it should just start playing the first stream on the disc.
 
You can create a DVD without a menu. I've done it before. It'll just start at the first title. You need to make sure you set the application to go to the next title when the previous one is done.
