BTV2DVD archive/burn to disk - still going?

[Randall]

I ask as I'm playing with my own as there re NUMBER of people who aren't moving to V4.5 for it's various problems and this would be dandy to just keep as the versions of BTV continue.

I'm can't go above 4.3 (even having problems with that) so I'd like to have my own "add-in".

Take a look at ConvertXtoDVD from VSO $40. Drag the BTV recording into the app and it is converted and burned to a single layer video DVD in about 20 -25 min per hour of video. I don't do it often but every file I have tried has poduced a flawless DVD. If I record a movie and want to pass it on to a friend, I clip the commercials with VRD and then convert to DVD with the app. All done in less than an hour. It will also convert divx/avi/mp4 files to video DVD in about the same time.

This has to be a lot easier than screwing around with buggy plugins on a buggy interface. Pretty sure that you can automate it to do batch conversions.

I've tried that, but my problems are that I can't tell it to fill the disk - it took an 1.5 hour film and converted it to 45% of the DVD AND when I try to tell it what size - won't keep it.

Also I'd like to be able to pass a file to it.

Well it's not too bad, and I can do it from the UI, but I'd use this if it worked properly.
