Video Dvd
How to edit and burn a DVD video in Ubuntu
Recently, I was given the task of editing and DVD authoring. I recently upgraded my installing Ubuntu Intrepid (64 bits). Alleged to have at least modest increases in speed when encoding multiple video formats. So, I started in my task, but with a new set of tools. Let's start with an inventory of resources, and then go through the actual process for making a DVD.
Capture, I used the more standard, stable solution: Kino. There is an issue in capturing video via Firewire (IEEE 1394) in Kino: You must be executed as her. Open a terminal, type "sudo kino", enter your password and you'll be fine. If you are editing in another program, recommend to capture video in a single file. You'll need to turn off "auto split." This determines automatically when the camera cut, and then chops the DV video into different files. For an hour of footage, often 70-100 individual clips to keep pace. To prevent this from happening, go to Edit> Preferences " (Shortcut CTRL + P) in the Kino main menu, click the "capture" tab and uncheck "Auto Split Files." This will the video much more manageable.
Normally, my editing and encoding settings Cinelerra is a facility (the best settings are contained in the repositories Akira). I used it for editing, titling and most of my work FX. It worked perfectly for me, however, has a blocking problems for a few. The interface is really difficult, and the learning curve is high. The keyframes and motion paths are a pain to work. It is the representation is incredible, and has no problem with the alias source after rendering. He was the only program that could get to work on a basis consistent with Linux.
All that changed with the release of Kdenlive 0.7.2. Earlier versions of Kdenlive were defective, unpolished, and fall prone. If you saved your work every 15 seconds, still not enough. The new version is incredible. No stability problems have only been addressed, but they have added some incredible real-time FX, a stellar experience in publishing, and given the user interface of a much-needed reform. The editing experience is closer to the main programs like iMovie and Final Cut Pro Only one drawback, at least in my version of Kdenlive: aliasing of fonts in titles. While in charge of video editing as a professional, providing the titles (at least in 0.7.2) is a disappointment, what irregular, illegible letters provided as a product. Because of this problem, I had to do the diploma in Cinelerra.
After you finish editing my files, I represent as a RAW file DV. While this was pretty great, too gave me an excellent starting point to put the titles on DVD. I had two options for this process, but one was much better than the other. Reading the Linux forums, two options he won my trust: gui tovid and DeVeDe.
The main difference between them is stability, and what can be done with the DVD after you finish coding. Tovid GUI lets you specify the background and buttons for play, along with a menu tree. The output is pretty crude, and the options are limited. The main drawback was the inability to customize the encoding quality. Even with the configuration script is locked, it still had difficulty paying correctly. Of the three times I tried to use, only 2 resulted in a successful encoding. Also included is the recording process as one of the "features". I routinely received burns and botched buffer underruns. Tovid not use GUI, unless it is absolutely a.
DeVeDe offers a better experience user. Previewing your menu title are available. You can make a render 60 seconds to make sure that the video and audio will not be affected if the quality is tight. Yes, actually lets you adjust the quality of the rendering, and gives an estimate of disk space that will be dealt with after the conversion to MPEG-2. If you want something like a loop video clip and music to the menu of your disc, which provides access to this too, without causing considerable mental anguish. For me, the best parties are the many rendering options. DeVeDe allows you to process only the structure of the disk, MPEG files, or combine them into an ISO image of the disk. You can even make the rendering process to take advantage of optimization for multi-core processors. Do not try to integrate the burning in your choices, as there are many fine programs that are designed to do exactly that. This shows the wisdom of the development team. Once the ISO is ready, you just have to select the recording program to use. A point of caution with DeVeDe: Default is PAL (European format 25 FPS). U.S. users will have to define the encoding format NTSC video and below the main menu before encoding takes place. If not set, keep the format of the menus it will result in an encoding failed.
I present the final burning solution: K3B. I love it. It can record any type of disk imaging. Its hardware and software management of buffers is incredible and quite frankly, it just works. The disc had been frustrated while using it as my recording program was my fault (I had a microscopic amount peanut butter in my thumb, when I took the disk, causing the laser scattering on the surface of the DVD). K3B still plays a bugle to let you know the burn was successful. Although Brasero is standard in my Intrepid installation, he managed to drop the ball. The use K3B and retrieve your lost time.
Once finished burning, be sure to test your disc on different types of players. Be sure to test on a standard DVD player for their region, and not only on your computer DVD player. It has to be evaluated based hardware codecs. As an additional step, you may want to test on a player Blu-Ray, just to make sure that it runs / scales properly.
Hopefully, this picture put on the path to stable coding and burning of next project. I have to go now, about six hours of raw footage I expected. God bless and success to you.
