(Too > complicated to me!) Kaffeine is not set to continuously loop. I'm just starting out on the long quest to author some DVDs using video I shot with a Sony DVDcam. My problem is, I slog through a howto or a magazine article (Linux Journal has some recent articles on the topic), then sit back and scratch my head wondering where the hell to start. I want to do some very basic stuff, but I can't seem to get out of the starting blocks. Nothing I'm running across is intuitive; it's like The Gimp in motion. I guess it's just gonna take me some time to become acclimated to the lexicon of DVD creation. I'll keep digging... Until then, I'm keenly interested in responses to Paul's request, because I'd like to do the very same thing he wants. Jay
