Well, as almost any other Wondeshare products, this GAOTD looks like a pretty decent video burner, converter and video edit app, enabling you you to edit and customize your DVD menus with more than 5 free DVD menu templates, with the ability to add your favorite song and picture as background music and image for your DVD menu.

And best of all, any editing effects you want to apply can be previewed before burning them: so this tool could be useful to keep your beautiful memories (Christmas, Birthday, Wedding etc...) on DVD, although it lacks of more advanced features such as the ability to add your own voice to your video files and that to set audio and video bitrate before converting your videos.

So, in my humble view, this GAOTD is GOOD but not GREAT!!

But don't worry dudes...Giovanni is here to help you...for FREE of course...so please RELAX and be happy...LOL!!

To create stunning and professional slideshows with more advanced features than those offered by this GAOTD:

* DVD slideshow GUI
Best FREE slideshow creator ever created with over 245 transitions and 100 special effects to add on your entire slideshow. With this magic FREE tool you can even add and edit music, 35 motion backgrounds, borders and subtitles. To add an audio track (for instance a recorded narration) to a specific point of your slideshow, just export your slideshow to mpg/avi format, then open it with the freeware “DubIt”:

After recording your narration or adding your music sounds to specific points of your slideshow, export to wav/mp3 and then import them into you DVD slideshow GUI project.

NP with installation.
Pro's
1. For a Novice it's perfect because it guides you through the whole process pretty well.
Con's
1. Templates are very limited. You need to go to their website and download the free templates. It would be nice to be able to edit the template completely.
2. I can't get rid of the template thumbnail
3. The main page advert is a little annoying.

EXTREMELY basic DVD creator. Windows Movie Maker leaves this program in the dust. Installed and Uninstalled very quickly.

There is something wrong with this program...It can not make DVD folder as output...only ISO or burn dvd disc ! There is not a help file included,only online,without answer where are Tools-Properties to make your choice...It can not record audio /voice/ to add to video file !? Why ? You can not set audio and video bitrate to convert ....
