Sorin, authoring a movie usually refers to actually creating a disc (e.g. DVD/Blu-Ray with chapter marks and what not). It's the step that comes after you've shot and edited the movie, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_authoring. As far as I know K3B, Bombone DVD and DeVede are capable of authoring DVDs. K3B (version dependent) should even be able to create Blu-Ray discs so that they are playable on standalone players.

[I guess were doing top-posting on this sub-thread. Okay, why fight it??] Chris, I didn't know that either. In fact, Sorin answered the question I was thinking of when I posted it. It's really counter-intuitive, even misleading, that "authoring" means burning the DVD... or maybe it means that in the context of DVDs, but means something else in the context of film/video production. (But then in that latter context, "producing" means "supplying or arranging the funding for", which is also misleading.) When someone says they authored a book, to me that doesn't mean they only printed it, bound it, and put a cover on it. Well, it's not something worth pounding to death. People had to have been happier before there was language. :) On 08/21/2015 04:28 AM, Chris Yereaztian wrote:> Sorin, authoring a movie usually refers to actually creating a disc (e.g. > DVD/Blu-Ray with chapter marks and what not).

Ken, I'm sorry, I had no intention of fighting anyone. I was simply under the impression that you might have actually referred to DVD authoring (creation of the disc, chapters, burning etc,but I understand where you are coming from. I completely agree that the terms interpretation completely depends on the used context. I really did not have any intention of stirring up something. I thought there might have been some confusion and I might be able to help resolve the confusion. All is good now ^_^.

Maybe it should be called Publishing, or something, I dunno... I prefer to call it Mastering. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz
