Authoring : Creation DVD watching on a DVD player

[Olivier Girard]

Features Request : it will be wonderful if Openshot Video Editor have the possibility to create a DVD by a film created by the same application. This DVD will be watching on a DVD Player. It will contains some basics functions, the purpose is not to have a great Authoring application (there is a lot of applications for doing this job) but something, which will be created quickly and not very sophisticated. It will be a service. It will a sort of complementary to the chain of the Edition.

Wonderful request. I 'll tag her in the withlist so she will not be lost. Fortunately, i'm working on since three weeks (punctually). It is a good idea.

Would K3B not be the best tool for this job, rather than OpenShot?

[Olivier Girard (eolinwen)]

No for several reasons.
- K3b is a burner software
- k3b is a old software ( i want to say by this that the currently version is working on kde 3.5)
- k3b is a software who need to have kde for working, it is a bit funny for a program who is done/working for Gnome and all the GTK environment same if he is working too on KDE but without additional programs (like Gnome in ....KDE)
- we are in the frontier between an real authoring software (like 2mandvd, Bombono,....) and a tool for realize a DVD play in a home player. The frontier is difficult to surround.
This work is in progress. I'm perhaps got to much far away. I will re-watch my copy and do more simple but at the end it will be an interesting solution. At this moment, i'm busy but the holidays will come soon so we will see at the end of August.

Hi John,

Always worked and the graphical part is finished (or near). You could see in my development branch.
The purpose for his integration is the 2.0.
