D2MP

D2MP is an application that you can use to create DVD videos from common file types, namely AVI, MOV, WMV and DivX. But it can also prepare items for PS3 devices.

The tool comes with a layout that may appear complicated at a first glance. Considering the advanced options regarding the audio/video stream and other aspects, users should have some experience with video conversion tools, in order to have an easier time using D2MP.

Items can be imported into the file queue by using only the file browser because the "drag and drop" method is not supported. It is possible to process more than one video in a single session.

The file queue displays various information on each entry, including the name, source format, aspect ratio, frames per second and duration. If you prefer the default settings, then you can immediately proceed with the conversion procedure after specifying the output directory and file type.

Otherwise, you can configure audio and video settings when it comes to the encoder and number of passes, noise reduction, audio mode (MP2, AC3, AAC), auto gain and bit rate.

You can set the audio and subtitle language along with chapters, create and edit DVD menus, build ISO files and specify the encoding scope (encode video and audio, mux streams, author media). Plus, you can monitor AVI Synth, view a log file and set D2MP to automatically turn off the computer after conversion.

The program requires a low-to-moderate amount of system resources to finish a task in reasonable time. It has a good response time, includes a brief help file and delivers DVD clips with a fair image and sound quality. We have not come across any errors throughout our testing and D2MP did not freeze or crash.
