Re: Export to DVD

Wait for others reply, since I've not actually used Kino's export DVD 
feature...
However, here are some tidbits of information that I vaguely remember 
from when I was having lots of trouble making DVDs:

o When DVD burners start to fail, they tend to burn disks that only work 
in some players, and just barely in others.

o I think DVDs have a table of contents at the inner and the outer edge 
of the disk. Whether due to a bad blank or a dying burner, sometimes one 
of the TOC areas is unreadable in some/all dvd players, so there is a 
long pause as the player tries to read the first one then finally gives 
up, seeks to the other end of the disk, and tries that one -- then it'll go.

o Some DVD players (including at least some Clear Play brand players) 
are case sensitive, and require the file and folder names to be all 
upper case. Other DVD players couldn't care less. In general, a FAT32 
drive mounted in Linux works such that if you name a file all upper 
case, the filesystem driver automatically converts it to all lower case, 
thus making it impossible to have all upper case names on that drive -- 
so if you're storing your DVD temporary directory structor (VIDEO_TS/*) 
on a FAT32 drive in Linux, the file names may be set to all lower case 
causing some stand alone players to not play.

Is your problem that the disk only plays part way, or there is a long 
pause, or it won't ever play at all, or some disks play and others don't 
-- etc?

Hope this helps.

Note: In the past I've used varsha http://varsha.sourceforge.net/ to 
make DVDs.
(This one has a bug that requires one to create their layout and get all 
ready and save, then start a "burn" process (which starts compressing) 
then cancel, then quit and re-run varsha, and load the saved project, 
THEN you can burn. Otherwise, the menues /might/ not be activated.) 
Developement has stopped for this project but it is well usable.

Also, QDVDauthor: http://qdvdauthor.sourceforge.net/ (This one's still 
being developed and is not done yet - but I think it's fully usable for 
simple stuff.)
