HowTo: Create a DVD, with menus, Complete steps

The following steps were done running Debian Sid, your results may varying using a different distro or release of Debian.

The term is called "authoring", as I have found out.

First, you are going to need a DVD authoring program, a video editing program, and possibly, a video conversion program (chances are, you really are going to "need" the conversion program, because the authoring program tends to use it, by default)

So, here is your shopping list:

Good tutorial thankyou.
Fills in details missing from some other tutorials.
I'm -nearly- just about there, I hope.
I found another dependancy that was needed: toolame

e.g. error seen from qdvdauthor when generating dvd: (the colourizing in qdvdauthor didn't highlight the toolame: command not found)

/tmp/execute.sh: line 3: /tmp/Summer2008/SubMenu 2/menu.mpg: No such file or directory

answer: sudo apt-get install toolame
