Kino and Qdvdauthor.

I keep running into problems whenever I use these 2...

But they are two programs you need to have, when editing your own home video, and want them on dvd to share with your family.

I've recreated my entire system, switched harddisk and reinstalled Ubuntu Fiesty, and it is very satisfying to see how well it works, how smooth everything has become, how easy it is to use, or is that just me being a Linux user for 2 years now...

Still I keep getting some, REALLY pain in the butt, problems trying to create my own DVD's. This time I ran into some country code problem with Kino.

I authored a 1 hour long movie, and saved the project file, to return the morning after and start the encoding, just to find out, that all the timing was screwed, it doesn't recognise the beginClip and endClip time, I tried to recreate the movie, ending up with the same problem when I closed Kino and started over. ¤#&%#¤#"& Then endless hours later I find the solution on the forum of Kino, you have to start the thing with a command line like this:

$ LC_NUMERIC=en_US kino

ddennedy says that he solved it in the 0.93 release, which unfortunately is not out in the Ubuntu repos. yet...

Then afterwards, I start up Qdvdauthor and ends up using several hours before I actually succeed making a DVD menu, and the final DVD. the problem was the version of toolame mp2 encoder, that didn't recognise a parameter of '48000', but only '48'...

I guess That's life.. it sucks......and then you die..
