"Cooking" a DVD with Cinelerra and DVDStyler.

On this tutorial, we will learn how to make a dvd using dvdstyler and cinelerra.
Dvdstyler uses "mpeg2 with audio" to make dvds- the only problem is that cinelerra can not use this format, However, this can be solved easily by a setting in dvdstyler that can directly mix video and audio - this means there is a very low loss in quality!

After we make our video with cinelerra, we can start rendering ( file > render ):
tut6eng1
After we write in the first box the name of the file, ( test ) we will choose the codec YUV4MPEG, Check the Video option, and the video tool option. ( Also, you can Insert Nothing ). Press on MPEG2ENC pipe preset and choose the appropriate DVD setting
tut6eng2
Now export audio with the same name as that of the video, and choose codec AC3- check only audio and setting bitrate with the audio tool icon.
tut6eng3
Now we can start using dvdstyler.
tut6eng4
To start, we will grab a button on the layout menu and we can choose an image to fill it in.
tut6eng5
Additionally, we can add text with a right mouse button click on layout menu.
tut6eng6
Now we can choose our exported .m2v video and drag it on the menu thumbnail image.
tut6eng7
We can now see a little icon on video, and finally we can simply drag on an audio file.
tut6eng8
If we try clicking with the right mouse button on the menu button, we can see that dvdstyler automatically chooses the first title to start with....
tut6eng9
Now we can press on the gear button, which will start to make the dvd.
tut6eng10
We can also burn the dvd easily now.

DVDStyler vs QDVDAuthor

I prefer using QDVDAuthor as it offers more features in general like subtitles, multiple audio channels, templates and transcoding.

Yes, you are right

but dvdstyler is more easy to use and very stable.... I use qdvdauthor too as you can read on http://akiradproject.net/cinelerra_is_very_easy_3
