I didn't think this would be hard

soniaI just spent the entire day with another smart, computer-capable woman and a Mac and a PC trying to create a DVD with menus from recordings made with a video camera. Both of us. The entire day. We failed. I didn't think this was going to be an extreme sport.
The camera generates .MOD files. We found we could rename those as .AVI files, and cut them with ffmpeg. But both free and paid dvd creator software refused to create usable dvds. SIGH.
Weird way to celebrate Halloween and the end of Daylight Savings Time. It rained buckets all day, so it's not like I really wanted to go anywhere, but ... it would have been nice to have *something* at the end of all that thought and effort and waiting for slow processes to complete.
