Pretty much. Just a note on dividing the movie ... you don't have to really
"divide" the movie as such. Final Cut Pro, for example, will allow you to
create "chapter markers" which can be accessed from within DVD Studio Pro.
You create buttons which link to the individual chapters. But it sounds like
you've got basic concepts down.
