Now that everything works again ;) I have decided to look at some of Claudia’s videos and put them on a DVD. Having just one original around is making me queasy. After a backup of _home and mnt_pics, time for some *kino* action.
By now, the first part is quick: Capture the video, merge scenes that are just one scene, and cut some extra stuff. But then, what about *dvdauthor*? I found a webpage on DVD authoring by James Tappin ¹ that looks just like the thing I need.
When exporting, I go to Export → MPEG and give it a name, choose file format 8 (DVD), and select the “Scene Split” checkbox (every scene in kino should be a chapter on DVD). Exporting will take quite some time.
Next, I downloaded, compiled and installed DVD Styler ². This is a frontend with which you choose a background image, place some buttons, select the mpeg files to add, and then all you have to do is go through the buttons and change the track number in the jump command to the appropriate track number and rename the button.
Burn!
It worked. :D
