QDVDauthor is very cool. Version 2.0 is soon to be released. When it
is,
I'm going to ask the dev for a version bump. The current release is
1.11.0
Ebuild is currently at 1.2.0
If you can wait a few weeks, QDVDauthor 2.0 is suppose to be very
cool.
You can beta test it now, on gentoo, as Varol, the main dev is really
cool to work with.
It looks jolly, but it's waaay more than I need. The machine is a
server with lot of disk space in it, but it's headless and I interact
with it by ssh. It's no problem to walk through & pop a disk in it,
but I prefer to just run a single `myrippingalias filename.mp4` in a
screen session, rather than to have to open a window & check boxes.
I have no need to author DVDs right now. I think I have *once* made a
DVD-R of a movie "to prevent the kids from scratching the original"
and in such circumstances I was quite happy with the video quality of
a single layer, so was able to do that pretty easily at the command
line, too.
