burning dvd

[Kirk Bridger]

I've found QDVDAuthor to be the easiest and best so far.

Any video with audio that you transcode (using ffmpeg, which is pretty
much every DVD tool there is) for longer than something like 5 minutes,
and the audio will stop syncing properly with the video.  Nothing fails
and the DVD is made, but the audio stops syncing properly, loosing track
of the video stream.

Some just use this to make their chapters on the DVD, making a chapter
every 4 or 5 minutes, then create a video for each chapter.  I'm not
sure that there is any other solution out there - if there is I'd love
to hear about it.  As it is, this makes DVD authoring under Linux less
than easy.

I found this guide for QDVDAuthor just awesome:

Hope this is helpful,
