[Dorset] Winjoke - stuck in the dark ages!
So the wedding DVD has been edited in Kdenlive, authored in DeVeDe and written by Brasero. That's all the region 2's done. What about the USA relatives? I could buy an external drive, and set it to region 1; but that is expensive. I thought (stupidly) that I'd feed the NTSC iso over the network to my windoze box. First, I'd take the DVD writer from my MEPIS box because changing regions might be 'difficult'. They are identical Optiplexes so it's just a rack change. XP; no built in DVD writing. Deep-something-or-other comes highly recommended as a free writer. It's CRAP, totally non functional. NCH? Their stuff usually works. I installed it and burnt 4 copies. When I closed it, it took me to the 'buy now' page. It costs as much as that external drive I was avoiding. So I bit the bullet. Went to MEPIS synaptic and installed: regionset and Brasero off the shelf. So I'll be making this an all Linux project after all, and windoze is only surviving on the cusp of realisation and ignorance. It'll be great to see people power topple the Soviet Union once more.

It may be too late now, but CDBurnerXP [1] is very good. Despite the name, it will also burn DVDs and run on Vista and W7.

Ah, if only we lived in China. Cheap slaves who get re-educated and morale-conditioned when too many commit suicide. That's the place for me.
