Pros: Easy to use; Free version available; Supports many formats

Cons: Trial watermarks the output project

Xilisoft Blu-ray Creator 2 free trial

The bad news is that Xilisoft Blu-ray Creator 2 doesn’t come for free. You have to purchase a license if you want to use it at your leisure. On the bright side, there’s a free version you can use to test Xilisoft Blu-ray Creator 2’s features.

You can test the trial for as long as you want since there’s no time limit imposed. However, every 5 minutes, the trial will add a randomly placed watermark to your project. While the watermark can be a nag, it doesn’t impair the program’s functionality by one bit.

Therefore, despite the watermark’s annoying presence, you’ll still be able to grow accustomed to the app’s features without any issue.
