I tried wine once, it was a disaster.  I can't recall what little
program I was trying to run but it never did. It seems that what I want
to do isn't doable on Linux and requires software that has to be
purchased at that.  That's disappointing that Linux can't do this. 
Looks like I'll have to use my new Blu-ray burner for data backups. 
Bummer.  I really wanted to make that gardening video HD.  No wonder
people use their game boxes and buy media centers that have hard drives
in them and then stream things from the internet.  Basically, other than
storing data files, Blu-ray isn't worth much except for commercially
made media. 

Well, even if I knew this before, I'm still glad to have the thing.  It
certainly holds more files than a DVD. 

If anyone knows of a tool to do this, I'm all ears.
