AVI to DVD

[blackbelt_jones]

YES! YES! YES! Just authored my first ever DVD in Linux-- and I really don't miss having a menu. What's wrong with just putting it in and having it play? Not a damn thing.

The hard part for me was the home stretch. The file tested just fine, but I had only burned CDs and DVDs with K3b, and that wasn't working. So I tried CD/DVD Creator. Copying the files into the window and hitting the burn button was so simple I was sure it couldn't possibly be working, but it was.

I'm watching the DVD now (Showtime's "Weeds", starring the always talented and always delicious Mary-Louise Parker). There were a few glitches in the playback. Where does that sort of thing usually originate? I'm guessing the problem is in the DVD's themselves.

Thanks for the tip. Like I said before, one less thing I need Windows for! Next, I hope to learn how to make video CD's!

BTW, I love the aspect ratio adjustment. As far as I can tell, the Windows software I've been using doesn't have that setting.

I've got three years of avi files around here, and I intend to keep encoding and burning DVDs until I no longer have to return to this page to rememember how to do it.
