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.
