The problem I have is there are 10 clips and 54 stills to be included. That and I don't have a clue how to do it - so it's been a major learning curve. I've tried a 30 day trial of dvdPro (Windows app) which created a slideshow and played one clip quite happily when I made my trial disc. However now that I have all 10 clips on there and all stills in the slideshow it grumbles about "read data exceeds buffer" and the documentation doesn't say what the buffer is nor how I can change the buffer size. I suspect it's trying to build the dvd in ram (I only have 1Gb). But I can't seem to find a way around it. Question: Is there a limit to the number of clips/movies you can have attached to a single menu page? That is the next thing I am going to try - split the clips over 3 menu pages - and see if it will rebuild that ok. *sigh* Back to the drawing board :) J On Dec 17, 2007 7:22 PM, David McNab <david(a)rebirthing.co.nz> wrote:

Nope.. qdvdauthor WAS the program I looked at last time.
I have spend HOURS trying to figure out this program, and I still can't take one simple AVI file and put it on a disk that plays in a DVD player. It simply ... DOES ... NOT ... WORK.
Quick qdvdauthor howto:
1) Convert your home movie to a DVD-compliant MPEG:
ffmpeg -i myhomemovie.avi -target pal-dvd myhomemovie.mpg
2) Start up qdvdauthor
3) Click on Help->QuickStartGuide and follow the instructions to the letter
4) Create an ISO image from the created DVD directory (assume you called the directory 'myhomemovie' in qdvdauthor):
mkisofs -R -J -o myhomemovie.iso myhomemovie
5) Burn the DVD - via k3b or whatever your favourite burner prog is
6) Play and enjoy
Cheers David
