I'm trying to create DVDs playable on standard home DVD players from existing footage I recently captured from DV into DV-AVI format using Microsoft Movie Maker 2. I'm ok using MMM2 to do all the editing as I'm not trying to do anything fancy, and I already have decent DVD burning apps, so all I need (I think) is software to do the authoring and rendering, leaving me with DVD image files that can then be burned onto DVD-R.
Are there are decent freeware apps that will allow me to do this, that aren't disabled unless you buy the full version? In the long run I'll probably want to buy full-featured software to allow me to do more sophisticated editing and authoring, but time and budget constraints force me to look into free solutions for now. Again, nothing fancy, just the basics to convert existing DV-AVI movies into burnable DVD image files that can be played on home DVD players.
Thanks! (Sorry for the cross-posts but I wasn't sure where to post this.)

The trial of the Tsunami DVD Author (TDA) isn't disabled, except the AC3 plugin. There is a limited version of their Encoder included in the package, that can transcode your DV into DVD compliant MPEG for Authoring with TDA. ( I'm only going by the descriptions and my experience with the TMPGEnc trials. Hopefully, this new marketing setup hasn't changed things in that regard.) www.tmpg-inc.com
The DVDLab trials were fully functional, also, if I recall correctly. www.mediachance.com
I don't know if the Ulead products trials were watermarked or limited in size.
Check www.videohelp.com 's listing for more options including the free DVD Author project.
