Two great programs for burning DVD in windows
[url=http://www.dvdshrink.org/]DVD Shrink[/url] for compressing a video DVD to fit on a standard DVD-R. Not open source but it is free and a great program.
[url=http://dvddecrypter.com/]DVD Decrypter[/url] for burning/ripping to disk. Uncrippled shareware.
Together these are powerful software and completely negate the need for high footprint stuff like Nero.
hmmm Can't seem to turn html or bbcodes on -
