HOWTO make a video DVD from an avi/mp4/etc... file type?
In windows i just use Nero and click the make movie DVD and add movie file. it transcodes, then burns the disk with the data i desire.
heck it can even convert PAL to NTCS(NTSC i forget) as well as reduce the quality from a dual layer DVD to a single layer all at once. can take several hours, but hey it works. k3b option to make a movie DVD is only if you copied the raw data off of a DVD (VIDEO & AUDIO folders) and you have to plug em or you get nothing that is playable via a set top DVD player. some guidance would be great. many thanks. tired of dual booting for things like this. |
Get ffmpeg, dvdauthor, dvdstyler installed on your system, then you can:
Code:
ffmpeg -i source.avi -target ntsc-dvd target.mpg Code:
dvdauthor -t -o target.dvd -f target.mpg man ffmpeg for more options on creating your .mpg files. |
nice, good stuff to know.

For a decent guide on dvd authoring try:

If it's an avi or whatever, I generally use tovid-gui to convert it to mpg, and then dvdstyler to burn the mpg to a dvd. Tovid-gui can do both the codec conversion and the burning to dvd, I think. Some time ago it couldn't, so I used dvdstyler for the final burning step, but now I think tovid-gui can do the whole job on its own.
