I really appreciate that offer.  As it turned out, I didn't need it
though :-)

Just to wrap up, and in case someone reads the archives, I found that
the owner of the file preferred a playable DVD to use alongside her
presentation, rather than embedding into it.

Fortunately little editing was required, as Kino doesn't seem too able
in that department.  However, I found I could create an mpeg file from
it, and from there I could doctor the xml file to a standard dvdauthor
xml file.  I did hit a bit of trouble as K3b twice burned the content
then failed to write the finalisation of the disk, giving an error
message.  I moved the files to this laptop and burned here, testing on
a stand-alone player, and all is well. :-)

My previous experience of command-line use (mjpegtools) was helpful.
I think if more detailed editing was required it would be best to
output an .avi from Kino, and use mjpegtools to edit it.

Thanks again for the offer of help, and thanks also to Chris.
