Hi Miha There are many guides out there for this sort of information. Here's a start: When working from footage created with cinelerra I use command line tools. While it might seem easier to use gui tools so far all the ones I have found are not quite mature. The command line tools are more predictable and there is heaps of information out there on how to use them. This is a sequence that works for me: >From cinelerra I render seperate audio video and audio streams. Video as mpeg2 and audio as ac3. I use mplex to combine the renders. (for instance mplex -f 8 -o file.mpg file.m2v file.ac3) I use dvdauthor to create a dvd folder structure and populate it. You need to do some googling on this step as there are so many possibilities. Here is a sequence I used recently to create a very primitive dvd-compliant disc: mkdir dvd dvdauthor --video=pal+4:3 -o dvd/ -c 0:00,15:00,30:00,45:00 dw1CD.mpg dvdauthor -T -o dvd/ mkisofs will turn that into an .iso file: mkisofs -dvd-video -o dvd.iso dvd/ growisofs will burn that to a dvd: (In gnome/nautilus you can also right click on an iso file and select 'write to cd') growisofs -Z /dev/cdrom=dvd.iso > b) To run them on computer (with menu) > I generally use mplayer and don't bother with the menus. If I need menus I use xine. I think ogle also does the job. You could test a dvd before creating the iso or burning it like so: xine dvd:dvd/VIDEO_TS/ > I have been using Nero and WinDVD for that > so far.

For Nero K3B is a brilliant program for working with DVD and CD audio as well as data formats. good luck Graham E. _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
