midi to DVD ?

[Bllich]

Hy.
I apologize if it was mentioned before
but I have a question about converting
karaoke midi to DVD.
I am tired of setting the computer and the projector and all that
and I've heard that it's possible to have
the midi karaoke songs on DVD so you can
do show with just playing DVD on DVD player and big TV!?
Is it possible?
Is there any converter program?
I assume that the song and the lyrics should be converted to small videos
and cut apart you could choose a song on a DVD menu..
Thanks.
Ivan

There may be a specific program to do this that I have not heard about.
However this is what I would do.
Convert the midi file to a wav file and use this as the soundtrack for a
suitable video.
next using a free program called Subtitle Workshop and a subtitle of the
words in sync with the video file with music.
Then using say DVDAuthorGUI (another free program) author the DVD using the
video file and the subtitle file (srt format).
Now there is nothing to stop you making multiple titles for playback as long
as the subtitle file name matches the video file name.
Alternatively you could use AutoGK to make a DivX disc of the video plus the
subtitle track. Many of the newer DVD players will play back both the avi
file and the srt file on the disc.

There may be an easier way with a specific program but I'm not aware of any.

So basically the principle is
Author a DVD
Make a subtitle track
Burn A DVD

I don't know what you mean by DVD because midi files produce audio only
last I heard. What I use...

To work (create/edit) midi files: Rosegarden (free)
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/

To capture/reformat any video: ffmpeg (free)
http://ffmpeg.org/

To capture any sound: Jack_Capture (free)
http://archive.notam02.no/arkiv/src/jack_capture-0.9.69.tar.gz

To compose/remake videos: Kdenlive (free)
http://www.kdenlive.org/

To burn optical disks: k3b (free)
http://www.kde.org/applications/multimedia/k3b/


All of that on linux of course (free). Typically I may compose a midi
then capture the scrolling sheet music for the video part and the sound
for the audio before combining them with edits and extras using kdenlive
and burning the disk with k3b.

HTH

BTW ffmpeg can do just about *any audio OR video job* but being a
commandline 'utility' it's a mouthful so I do use the others as well.
