You need to convert them to MPEG2, then create special table-of- content files, and put them all in a defined directory structure. mplayer and transcode (which comes in the mplayer package, I think) can do the conversion. Don't remember, though, what package will do the rest. kino (which is a non-linear video editor) *might* be able to do it, as onw of it's side functions. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA "In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme."
