Kdenlive als Linux-Alternative zu Windows DVD Maker
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Kdenlive is a capable replacement for Windows DVD Maker, but only if you're willing to work around missing DVD-specific features. It handles video editing tasks far better than Windows DVD Maker ever did — importing clips, adding music, titles, and transitions — but it does not directly create DVD menus or burn ISOs. You’ll need additional tools like dvdauthor or K3b to finalize a playable DVD. If your goal is editing first and DVD creation second, Kdenlive excels. For point-and-click DVD authoring, it’s overkill and incomplete.

Ihre Windows DVD Maker-Dateien öffnen
Kdenlive can open most common media files that Windows DVD Maker supported, including AVI, MP4, and JPG, without issue. However, it cannot read or edit Windows DVD Maker project files (.dvdproj or similar), as those are proprietary and no longer supported. Projects must be recreated from source media. Exported video from Kdenlive can be used as input for DVD authoring tools, but Kdenlive itself does not preserve Windows DVD Maker's project structure or menu layouts.

Can Kdenlive burn a DVD directly?
No. Kdenlive exports video files only. You need a separate tool like K3b or dvdauthor to create and burn DVD-structured discs.
Is Kdenlive easier to use than Windows DVD Maker?
No. Kdenlive has a steeper learning curve. It’s more powerful but not designed for quick, simple DVD creation by beginners.
Can I make a DVD with menus using Kdenlive?
Not directly. You can edit the video, but menu creation requires external DVD authoring software.
