Q-DVDAUthor is a bit overkill unless you really enjoy faffing around with DVD Menus, buttons, background images and the like. I had a spat of transferring all my camcorder movies over to DVD about a year ago and got on very well with mkdvd (http://fredrik.hubbe.net/hacks/mkdvd.html). You need to install the Pike scripting language first (http://pike.ida.liu.se/) together with the other required tools but most of these are dependencies of dvdauthor anyway. When I installed mkdvd it was only compatible with an earlier version of dvdauthor, this might have changed by now but check first. Once I had my mpeg file it was simply a case of typing the following two commands:- mkdvd.pike --iso --output=/home/martin video-file.mpg growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cdrecorder2=tmp.iso This will give you a DVD that just plays the movie automatically - no nice menus though. I installed Q-DVDAuthor the other week in SuSE 9.1 no problems by using apt4rpm - http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ Hope this is of help. Rgds, Martin On Mon, 2004-10-04 at 13:23, Joe Button wrote:
