Live Linux distro for burning mpg file to DVD disc


Can you recommend a Live Linux distro that:
* can burn an mpg movie
* to a USB external DVD drive
* does not need much hand-holding (from me)
* so that i can take the DVD disc and play it on any DVD player

This should help (you won't need the first part): http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/04/17/2058219

There's probably a simpler solution for encoding an mpeg file to a DVD, so I'll keep looking

Cheers,

[edit] This link is also quite interesting: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gam...onversion.html

By the way, if any of the applications you require to do this are not on the live CD, you can still 'install' them and then run them without a problem (although the changes will not be written to the CD-ROM, but rather the applications will be stored in the RAM).

Thanks JK.

This looks interesting. I'll experiment with it.
