“In my recent article on QDVDAuthor, I skipped over the
task of making a videoloop for the main DVD menu. Here I’m going to
show you how I did it. The goal is a short loop of video that
smoothly transitions through five different video segments and back
to the beginning again. The audio is shaped and lowered to make it
more or less even and not so distracting (loud menus can be
obnoxious if they are left running).

“The videos used here are all from the same NinaVision
collection that I used in my QDVDAuthor tutorial. For the best
results, download the higher quality “mpeg” versions. All are
licensed Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike, so you can freely
copy and share the resulting files. I have in fact already put the
completed loop up on the NinaVisionDVD page at the Internet
Archive.

“By comparison with QDVDAuthor, Kino is much more mature
software, and it is available in all the major GNU/Linux
distributions. I am simply using the version 1.3.0 which is
included in Debian’s “Lenny” release (the current Stable).”
