[Kdenlive-devel] Only the first few seconds of the DVD play

[Kevin Donnelly]

My daughter has been using Kdenlive for a school project, and to tell the 
truth, I'm very impressed with it.  It's been very easy to use, and hasn't 
crashed once.  She has completed the 3.30 short in a rough cut, and at that 
point we decided to render it to DVD.  The problem is that when we burn it to 
DVD-R and put it in a DVD-player, the menu loads, clicking this starts the 
main feature, but only 2-3 seconds of it play.  Then it goes back to the 
menu.

I've tried using the default burn in K3B, using K3B standalone (and also on a 
different PC) to burn, using QDvdAuthor, and also ManDVD (again using K3B and 
doing a direct burn), but all of them are coasters.  The rendered material 
plays fine on the PC, so I may be missing something obvious on the burning 
side.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could try - I would 
really like her to finish the project on Linux if possible.

The second query I have is about replacing the soundtrack (which has noise and 
other bloopers on it).  What sort of process do people on the list use?  I 
was thinking of setting up a mixer to play the existing audio, then switch 
that to mute the audio and play the video again while recording into 
audacity.  Is that the best way to approach things?  sorry if this is obvious 
to you, but I'm a beginner in this field!
