Don't forget there is a big difference between burning a video file to
a DVD as data and burning a DVD that can be watched.

There's a program in the repositories called: qdvdauthor, that says it can:
generate DVD menus, slideshows, and videos to burn on a DVD.

has anyone tried it?
The only DVD player I have is o my PC so its probably not the best
thing to use to test if it plays in a real DVD player.
