I am horribly, horribly stupid about nearly every aspect of dvd and/or 
cd burning.  Normally, when I find this out about myself, I go buy a 
book on the subject, and pretty soon, I'm less stupid.

Anyone got a recommendation about the subject?  If there is no book, I 
would acdept a URl, but I would really rather a book, if there is one 
like this.

The thing is, I'm utterly unable to use qdvdauthor, or acidrip, or even 
dvdrip, or transcode, or ff .... well, you get the idea, because I can't 
answer the questions about which codec to use for what, or what program, 
or what default.

Thanks, fellas.
