Another steep learning curve...after sifting through the footage that Stan Newton had taken throughout the day I managed to assemble something that approached a film record of the day, figuring out how to add credits and titles.  Then the task of actually putting it onto a DVD...converting it to the right format, adding menus, titles, music...blimey still I just about managed it.  Of course then the next task is figuring how to actually burn it to disk..and then software tells me the whole file is too big and too long to fit on a disc..unless I use dual-layer DVDs..which nobody stocks locally, and they are expensive, and don't work on older DVD players...aaargh! So anyway, manage to figure out how to fiddle the encoding so it all fits, tinker with the menus and brutally mash it into some semblance of a video. Next up figuring out how to use the templates for the disk labels..which don't work on my computer, so more online downloads and I've pretty much cracked it.... phew!!
