Re: [wlug] DVD creator software

I was wondering about creating a DVD slide show for stills and audio. Some time ago I tried qdvdauthor but could never get it to work.

It either hung on me part way through or simply shutdown.

Yes, qdvd's video slideshow feature is also broken. I'd suggest doing the slideshow part in kino, and then exporting it as a standard DVD mpeg. qdvdauthor should then be able to convert this into a DVD filesystem for you. As for burning, I just put in a blank disk and wrote the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders using the inbuilt (nautilus?) burning tool. It seems to be playing OK.
