    Thanks, man.
    I just wanted to create friend's wedding DVD and this guide is the ultimate one.
    I skipped the torrent part, but the rest is a must read for every newbie like me.
    Thanks again.

    Good instructions and it works like a charm!

    One addition:

    I had this probloem that the sound kept having
    hick-ups when playing in my DVD-player... tried
    all kind of tricks from various tutorials... eventually I figured it out.. Because my test movie
    was so small, I decided to burn it to a CD-ROM rather than DVD-ROM. After trying several times, I tried to burn it to a DVD ... problem solved!!!

    So my advise to others: use a DVD and not a CDROM

    regards,
    Bruno

    I'm trying to prepare myself for a huge change in operating systems ( XP to slackware ) BTW I'm a total newb! That said, as you may imagine this whole thing is rather Intimidating. I'm not a friend of the command line and haven't been since DOS and I was around 16 years old then. Needless to say I must admit one thing, the linux community is one the best I've ever encountered. People more than willing to set aside time to help newb's like me out. I loved your articile BTW and since I am pretty big into video I'm 100% sure that I will be returning here once I get slackware 12 running on this PC...Thanks Bro!
