Why buy TMPGenc DVD Author?

[iKwak]

I heard great reviews on the TMPGenc DVD Author software.
What I do not understand yet (newbie) is why would you buy the DVD authoring software when you can...


download DVD Decrypter (burn the movie) and DVD Shrink (rip the movie into ISO or file) to do the job for free?? Could you explain? Thank you.

DVD Decrypter has NOTHING to do with authoring. Authoring software is used to edit, add chapters to, add menus to, video, as well as convert DVD-compliant MPEG videos into standard, ready to burn, DVD files (.IFOs, .BUPs, .VOBs). DVD Decrypter cannot perform such functions, as its primary use is to eliminate copy protection...

I use Tmpgenc Dvd Author almost exclusively. Easy to use, never had any problems, works great and does all I want.
