Hi. I have downloaded a so called free download, "avs4you", that converts mp4 files and burns them onto a dvd disc. It leaves a watermark stamp in the middle of the screen unless I pay for a license. My question is :- is there a free program out there, or is it better to pay for a license.? Thank you for your time.
