Hi Everyone,

I am trying to same some captured video in Cinelerra to transfer it to DVD with DVDStyler. The video saves in .XML but DVDStyler will not open it with the following error:

"not well formed in line 2"
"could not open XML file"
"parsing error"

Cinelerra does not appear to be saving the file correctly. Also, when rendering to MS AVI file (to get audio and video), the saved file crashes my desktop.

Anyone with any experience with Cinelerra who may have any ideas. Cinelerra looks like a great app, but is pretty unstable on my machine. Video editing is my last hurdle before being able to dump Windows alltogether. If I HAVE to do it, I can continue to use Premier Pro, but would certainly like to be able to use Linux for everything.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Not sure what to tell you apropos your errors, but have you tried kino?

Yes, thank you..I use Kino to capture the video (too complicated in Cinelerra.) But, kino does not have much to offer in the area of editing (transition, effects, etc.). The main thing I want to transfer to DVD (mpeg-4) to play on non-pc DVD players. DVDStyler will do this, but only opens XML files. There is a dedicated player (xmovie) for playing Cinelerra made Quicktime files (xine will not play them.)

A lot of good information on cinelerra's site, but doesn't handle this problem. Maybe there is another DVD producer somewhere which will open more different file formats. I'll keep googling

Thank you for your answer..

Bob
