My daughter has been using Kdenlive for a school project, and to tell the truth, I'm very impressed with it. It's been very easy to use, and hasn't crashed once. She has completed the 3.30 short in a rough cut, and at that point we decided to render it to DVD. The problem is that when we burn it to DVD-R and put it in a DVD-player, the menu loads, clicking this starts the main feature, but only 2-3 seconds of it play. Then it goes back to the menu.
I've tried using the default burn in K3B, using K3B standalone (and also on a different PC) to burn, using QDvdAuthor, and also ManDVD (again using K3B and doing a direct burn), but all of them are coasters. The rendered material plays fine on the PC, so I may be missing something obvious on the burning side. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could try - I would really like her to finish the project on Linux if possible. The second query I have is about replacing the soundtrack (which has noise and other bloopers on it). What sort of process do people on the list use? I was thinking of setting up a mixer to play the existing audio, then switch that to mute the audio and play the video again while recording into audacity. Is that the best way to approach things? sorry if this is obvious to you, but I'm a beginner in this field! -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.thinkopen.co.uk - blog www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.klebran.org.uk - Gwirydd gramadeg rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg
