Hi Wayne,
Have a look at this, it's a very good howto on building DVDs.

It's a little gentoo specific, but once you've got the tools it'll work. I've used it to burn recorded programmes from MythTV to DVD.
HTH
Again cheers for that, looks like I will be having some fun once I have tracked down the required i-link to FW cable. At the moment kino is popping up an error about "default preferences for video creation have not been specified" as soon as I try and do anything. I am hoping that all will become clear once I actually have some video captured.
The Kino user guide (what little there is of it) seems to suggest that there are issues with the 64bit version that may be fixed in the latest build but I would have hoped that the one version back in the 64bit ubuntu repository is at least partially functional....we shall see.
Not linux related but seeing as we have some of the Norwich lot on list, does anybody remember what the theme tune to that classic Anglia Television program "Bygones" is called ? I want it for part of the soundtrack.
