A broad Windows and macOS DVD authoring tool with editing, menus, chapters, and batch processing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Leawo DVD Creator converts video and photo content into DVD-9 or DVD-5 discs, DVD folders, or ISO images. It is aimed at home media archiving, storage, and distribution, with support for Windows and macOS. The workflow covers menu creation, video editing, subtitles, audio-track selection, manual or automatic chapters, and photo slideshows with transitions and background music. It also supports common video formats and previewing for edits and disc menus.
The published plans show a paid-only structure. The Basic Plan costs $29.95 per license per year and includes all features for one year, auto-renewal with cancellation anytime, and unlimited free upgrades. The Professional Plan costs $39.95 one time and includes all features for a lifetime, one license for one PC, and unlimited free upgrades. The Blu-ray Creator (Lifetime) plan costs $59.95 one time and includes Leawo Blu-ray Creator alongside Leawo DVD Creator, plus unlimited free upgrades. A five-minute free trial is available, while refund periods differ by plan.
Its strongest fit is for users who need more than straightforward disc burning. Menu templates and an editor support customized navigation, while trimming, cropping, effects, watermarks, and 3D modes add editing depth before authoring. Batch processing can handle multiple videos or folders, and GPU hardware acceleration is available for supported workflows. Choose Leawo DVD Creator when you need chapters, subtitles, slideshows, multiple output types, and cross-platform desktop support in one product. A simpler tool may be preferable if you only need basic burning or want a free plan.
