Question about proper video format to burn to dvd
Since I'm gonna use linux to burn dvd's, I thought this would be the proper forum to ask this question. I've downloaded a lot of movies and they are all avi,mpg,mpeg. I've noticed that dvd's contain entirely different file formats. Anyway, my question is is there a way to convert the beforementioned file formats so that I can burn/play them on my house dvd player and not the computer dvd player?

Hello,
there is still a special format for DVD-Video. 1. You have to prepare the mpeg 1.1. demux the file (split pictures and sound) -> I prefer "avidemux" but you can also use "transcode" as a very powerful commandline-tool 2. you have to mplex sound and pictures with a utility -> I use "kavi2svcd" with the mjpegutilities choosing DVD-format 3. You have to master the DVD for Chapters, Menus etc -> I use "dvdwizard" 3. Burn the files to the DVD in the proper format -> I use "k3b" (Projecttype DVD-Video) I have found all these programs at http://packman.links2linux.de If you use Suse you can put this site to the installation repository of YAST. |
