Apeaksoft DVD Creator is probably just OK for DVDs, but the included ffmpeg does a lousy job encoding DVD mpg2, and there are loads of IMHO much better apps available to author video DVDs. Some of those apps however are going to include compliance testing to make sure your video will work on most DVD players, and that can force you to re-encode video that would otherwise work just fine. For video Blu-ray discs Apeaksoft DVD Creator should be fine. Do note that while using ffmpeg’s built-in x264 AVC encoder can give great quality, it’s going to take a while to encode FHD [Full High Definition 1080p].

For DVDs, Apeaksoft DVD Creator uses the free open source DVD Author -- dvdauthor.sourceforge[.]net – which is OK, though the actual code in the files making up the DVDs you create will likely be different than if you used a paid app, e.g. Nero Ultimate. That only matters however if you’re doing some advanced editing of something like the play lists, adding your own layer break for a double-sided DVD etc. DVD Styler is a free alternative, also available in a portable version, that also uses DVD Author -- videohelp[.]com/software/DVDStyler – and while Apeaksoft DVD Creator includes ffmpeg for encoding your video, for DVDs you’re Much better off using something else [e.g. MainConcept is great].

For video Blu-ray discs Apeaksoft DVD Creator uses tsMuxer -- videohelp[.]com/software/tsMuxeR – which is fine… I’ve never had a problem with Blu-ray players accepting the discs. tsMuxer itself does not include an encoder, and here the ffmpeg in Apeaksoft DVD Creator should work very well, as the built-in x264 AVC encoder is really pro grade. High quality FHD video does however take time to encode – if you want to speed it up look for a specialty encoder that uses the GPU as much as possible, e.g. A’s Video Converter for AMD, though expect a quality hit. tsMuxer also does not do menus, which is something Apeaksoft DVD Creator adds, though these menus will not be anything like what you see on a Blu-ray disc you buy – those discs uses Java for menus and features, and the software to make them can cost thousands of dollars. While I don’t want to say anything negative about VSO, I’d recommend using the free ImgBurn for DVDs or Blu-ray.
