Hello, Someone asked about creating a DVD using Linux. I'm not going to be at the next MUUG (going to Chicago) but I thought I would share this URL that I've recently tried and found works very well: http://www.wlug.org/files/howto_dvd_talk/HOWTO_MAKE_DVD -Montana Quiring

That was me. I found a couple of hours to give it a try. The approach at the URL you posted worked for me. It looks as though the options sent to growisofs before was what was tripping me up. This time the sample file worked perfectly. The video was too wide for the TV but that's the fault of the TV. The important thing is I finally got SOMETHING to play. ;-)
Now I got the first task out of the way, I can experiment with things like multiple videos, menus, multiple language audio streams (ie. separate narration), and subtitles. Next summer my friend with the camera is going to be kept busy.

Glad I could help. The webpage was a real savior for me. I shoud be able to make the next MUUG meeting, and perhaps we can swap tips on what we've learned. I've been playing around with menu's and am learning what can/can't be done. -Montana Quiring P.S. I'm the guy in his 30's with glasses and long curly hair that dresses in black. I've only been to a couple MUUG meetings, but I'm really enjoying it and plan to become a member. On 11/7/05, Mike Pfaiffer mpfaiffer@callapple.org wrote:

I want to try multiple videos next then menus.

No problem. B.D. was mentioning he has experience with it as well. He has an experience (which I thought was cool) with aspect ratios.
I've been playing around with menu's and am learning what can/can't be done.
Have you figured out multiple language streams yet? My friend with the camera wants to do something for a couple of clubs he belongs to.

This describes more than a few people there. ;-)
Then again I'm in my 40's with glasses, a beard, and balding straight hair. This ALSO describes a substantial part of the group. ;-)

It's interesting. You learn new things each time the group meets. For newbies it takes a while. I would have been lost at Tuesdays presentation if it were my first meeting. As those who were there and recognise me would attest, I actually participated with a reasonable amount of accuracy for someone who has never actually done anything like this. It's cool to get into the mind set of a professional in the area. Even if it is once per month.

P.S. The Call-A.P.P.L.E. site (below) is being reorganised. We are looking to become an archive site too. So far we have a bunch of legacy stuff (Apple 1, //, and ///). We are slowly moving up to older Mac software (System 6 - 9). In a few months we are going to put up some OS X stuff. Bill (the guy running the show), wants to put up some *NIX stuff too. I have some Zenity shell scripts as samples. I'm thinking about writing a shell script which will tie the tools for creating DVDs together and submitting that. As long as I'm not interrupted (I've never had that kind of luck) it should take a couple of weeks. I'm part way through a shell script for videotrans (movie-to-dvd) if anybody wants to help (perhaps translating it to C or use of a better dialogue box interface than Zenity). OTOH, if anybody wants to contribute (freeware, shareware, P.D., etc.) to the C.A. library they should go to the site and contact Bill.
