So, I have decided to purchase an external (firewire)

Any recommendations?
Hi there,
I think you'll find that pretty much all the firewire enclosures use
the same chipset(s), (Oxford?) and that they're detected when you
plug them in & assigned a wossisname, such as /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or
whatever. This is certainly been the case with all the USB / firewire
hard-drive adaptors I've used; I can't say I've used my firewire
writer under Linux but I'm sure it'll work the same.
Just stick any DVD writer of your choice in:
<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817113016>
I think you'll find this at least 20% cheaper than buying any
prepackaged external writer.
Also, I have a series of files as a result of starting and
stopping a sony video camera at football games:
file M2U00001.MPG
M2U00001.MPG: MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex
So looking around I cannot seem to be able to find out
how you combine these short mpg video files into
'chapters' or such like the sequential files you see
in a DVD scene menu.
I don't know much about this, but I think you'll prolly want to look
at media-video/dvdauthor and maybe media-video/dvdstyler.
