You can easily convert your video files to DVD with DVD Flick for free.

What’s more, you can combine files of different formats and convert them to DVD with subtitles all within a single interface.

DVD Flick is a 13MB download. Installation takes just about a minute.

On launching the program you will see a list of buttons to your right.

A dialog box opens up asking you to select your desired video file.

You can leave file type as All Supported Types and chances are your video file will be recognized.

If your file is not recognized, you can click on the file type drop down menu and choose among the multitude of supported files ranging from 3GP to RealMedia files.

Once your file is listed, you can click on Edit File.

Under General, you can edit the title of your clip, set the target aspect ratio (16:9 o 4:3) and even the thumbnail time index.

Under Chapters, you can set the number of chapters you wish to create.

You can also choose the option to create chapters on every video source.

You can also add audio tracks and subtitle tracks if you need more than one for your DVD video.

Once you’re done with the Edit File Mode you can move to Project Settings

You can locate Project Settings on top of the interface.

Then you set the target size of your DVD. The default is 4.3GB. You can also select DVD DL (Dual Layer) which is set at 7.9GB.

You can also set the encoder priority.
