VS10+ Compared to DVD Movie Factory 5

blplhp · Post by **blplhp** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 1:47 pm

In VS10+'s DVD authoring wizard, it has 5 SmartScene Menus, 4 Text Menus, 5 Thumbnail Menus, 21 Menu-in transitions, 22 Menu-out transitions, 5 Background images and 13 Background music files. While this might seem sufficient for some, it doesn't offer alot of choices, especially in the menu selection. Also, VS10+ only provides two levels of menus - main menu and chapter menus. How does DVD Movie Factory 5 compare to VS10+ as far as the number of selections? Does MF5 go deeper than 2 levels of menus? I checked the ULead website and could not find a comparison list between the two programs regarding the number of these various options provided. Does anyone who has both programs know how many of these selections come with MF5? Or does anyone have a side-by-side comparison chart for these options? If MF5 has many more available options, I might consider buying it, using VS10+ for video editing and MF5 for DVD authoring.

Oh, also, does anyone have ULead Burn.Now for burning/copying audio, photos, data to CD and DVD discs? Is this a good program as compared to other popular programs like Roxio Easy CD Creator and Nero Burn?

maddrummer3301,

Do you know for sure that a plus version of MF5 is coming out? I called ULead tech support, and they would not confirm anything regarding a plus upgrade to MF5. If so, what is the rumored roll-out date?

I would still like for someone out there who has both VS10+ and MF5 to provide me a quick comparison of the menu, transition and background options in each program.

Thanks,

Hmmm... I suppose I should look at the MF forum, but it sounds just a bit dodgy to me to expect people to shell out for a pre-order of MF5+, yet have absolutely no detail as to the differences with the vanilla MF5. And of course Ulead sitting silent on the sidelines.... (again!!!!) Hélas!
