Ulead MovieFactory 6 is Corel’s simple and easy-to-use disc authoring and DVD burning software. It is aimed at the consumer who wants a simple way to get videos and pictures off a camera and on to a disc that will play well and look good. It offers video theme templates that add polish to any video and slideshow. The authoring tools feature professional-looking menu templates that are easy to personalize. DVD MovieFactory 6 makes it easy to turn video and pictures into standard-definition DVDs.

Standout features:

  • Record straight to DVD from TV, camcorder or camera.
  • Automatically detects commercials in a recorded TV program and lets you delete them.
  • Burn your HD movies directly to Blu-ray and play them back at full resolution.
  • Sensitive data can be password-protected from unauthorized access.

Features:   Excellent

Burning DVDs is the just the beginning of capabilities you get with MovieFactory6. It’s not the fanciest interface we’ve seen, but its user-friendliness is reminiscent of Corel’s DVD Copy 6. And, after all, Corel is the parent company of Ulead.

You can create and edit your own video or photo movie disc creations or burn unencrypted DVD movies. You can also add soundtracks to your creations using the many audio functions, more on that later. All your digital media will come out looking sleek and professional after you take it through the MovieFacotry paces. Titles, menus and HD are all features here.

Copying Capabilities:   Excellent

Burning features include the ability to burn data, pictures or documents to CD, or single- and double-layer DVD and Blu-ray Disc. This program also lets you add data files to audio CDs, create password-protected data discs and boasts a full-featured disc-copy function for all formats: CD, DVD and Blu-ray Disc. ISO, DVD (VOB) files can be copied to and from the hard drive to your choice of output.

Ulead Movie Factory 6 has a clean and easy to read interface – large, blue text on a white background. The main menu of available formats appears on the left-hand side. As you choose a format (Video/Slideshow Disc, Audio Disc, Data Disc, Import/Capture, Edit/Append Disc, Copy Disc, Disc Tools) the task menu on the right changes to reveal the possibilities within each category. As you hover over a potential task, a permanent info bar across the bottom explains each section in detail. For example, when you choose “Copy Disc,” your menu options become “Copy Disc,” “Burn From Disc Image,” and “Burn DVD Folders to Disc.”

Utility functions are located at the bottom of the interface, below the info bar, with the options to view preferences, get disc information, get drive information, or design and print your personalized disc labels.

We loved this interface: easy to use, easy to read, easy to understand.
