Corel ULead DVD MovieFactory Pro 7.00.398 – Comprehensive Review

Overview

Corel ULead DVD MovieFactory Pro 7 (version 7.00.398) is a legacy DVD and Blu-ray authoring software originally released around 2009-2010. Unlike simple data burners, MovieFactory focuses on interactive menu creation – the kind you see on Hollywood DVDs. While discontinued and replaced by Corel’s VideoStudio (which absorbed many of its features), version 7.00.398 remains popular among enthusiasts who need a lightweight, reliable DVD authoring tool without subscription fees.

Part 5: How to Use the Portable Version (The Right Way)

If you have obtained a legitimate backup of your original disc and created a portable version (or downloaded a clean repack), follow this guide:

Step 1: Preparation

• Extract the portable archive to D:\PortableApps\DVDMovieFactory (avoid spaces in folder names).
• Ensure your USB drive is NTFS or exFAT (FAT32 cannot handle files over 4GB, which video files often exceed).

Step 2: First Launch

• Right-click DVDMF.exe > Properties > Compatibility.
• Check "Run this program as administrator."
• Set Compatibility mode to Windows 7 (or Vista SP2).
• Click OK.

Step 3: Authoring

• Insert a blank DVD-R.
• Click "Create DVD Video."
• Drag your MPEG-2 files into the timeline.
• Use the Menu Wizard. Since this is portable, all created menu templates save to the USB drive (not your C: drive).

Step 4: Burning

• Select your burner drive.
• Choose "DVD-R" as media type.
• Burn speed: 4x (Never max speed; 4x ensures compatibility with old DVD players).
• Click "Burn."

Video Editing & Encoding

• Smart Render Technology: Only re-encodes the parts of the video that have changed (transitions, cuts). If your source footage is already DVD-compliant MPEG-2, a full disc can be authored in under 10 minutes.
• Supported Inputs: AVI, DV, MPEG-1/2, MP4, WMV, and even QuickTime MOV.
• Output: DVD-Video, DVD-VR, and even VCD/SVCD.
