My personal recommendation is FFmpeg with a command along the lines of;

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i myfile.avi -target dvd /tmp/dvd.mpg

Second recommendation would be MEncoder.

Linux App Finder Video/DVD Encoders

Linux App Finder DVD Authoring

I don't know anything about Running commands in linux. i can access the console, but how do you copy and paste? Ctrl and V pastes in Linux and Windows. But NOT in the Console. In Fedora's Console you can Paste using a right click. But NOT in Puppy Linux. Is there a way to paste inside Puppy Linux Console?

Pburn supports avi files for video-DVDs

Usually Shift+Ins, certainly this applies in Konsole probably in xterm as well. I think this is because in most command line consoles Ctrl+V is reserved for something else.

HEY, MUCH THANKS MAN! I would of never thought to try shift INS. THANKS MAN!!! I am liking Puppy Linux. It runs great on my EEE PC 901 and its saving the life of my SSD's because everything is running off of an SD Card. I love puppy. I have booted several computers without hard drives using puppy.

Mandvd and devede also work out puppy.

Its a shame nobody seems to explain Linux things that other users "just know" somehow. Keep learning!

Pburn supports avi files for video-DVDs

You say this, but when I actually go to burn a DVD, I end up with a DVD that has an .avi file on it rather than one that can play in my DVD player.

{I am running Puppy 5.2.5 with its version of Pburn if it is any help.}

Sorry if I am stating the obvious. Did you select "Burn Video"?

P.S. With my limited experience I would suggest first burning to a RW disk to ensure that lip sync, etc. is correct. If every thing looks good then burn to a normal DVD.

Sorry if I am stating the obvious. Did you select "Burn Video"?

I did, indeed. However, I misstated the outcome. It ends up burning a completely blank disk.

I am attaching the log file in case you can extract more information from it than I could. I had a DVD burner attached with a DVD in the drive. It burned something to the DVD, but the DVD verified as closed with 0 MB of data on it, so the "something" must have simply been the TOC.

The log file is from attempt #4 to burn my movie. For attempts 1-3 I used an AVI. For attempt #4 it was an MPEG. I hope that doesn't negatively affect whatever diagnostics need to be done.
