Well I have tried various tools and none are entirely acceptable.
Most work but have limitations - for instance one tool
provided almost infinite fexibility but if you o not tie up all
loose ends (jump references) it fails to build the target iso
image.

The only tool I have that buildsequences that work on everyones
DVD players is Imagemagick.

My big problem is that the only boxes I have with enough memory
ro run tools such as imagemagick arw currently running windows
so I lazied out and stuck the windows version of I::M on and
left it to run a bat file overnight :-(

And before you say I know if it were running linux the performance
and memory footprint of IM would be way better.

I have not bothered adding an audo track to the images - I suppose
I could steal snippets from the camcorder footage or add music
but the target audience has widly varying musical tastes.
