eek! Windows Vista Home Premium has a gem that I just discovered - Windows DVD Maker. What a cool little application. It turned a movie I made (using Windows Movie Maker) into a professional looking DVD - effortlessly.
Complete with menu, scenes, notes, etc. In fact (I'll play around with this for extra credit), there is an SDK that allows you to create custom, special effects and transitions. This application blew me away!
Ah the joy of small things...and newly discovered things! I have to agree with the kids: Hooray Microsoft!
