yup yup!
just make sure your cd'd into the same dir where your DVD was constructed and do:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video DVD/
and it should burn fine!
that's why I always test it first with:
xine dvd:/full/path/to/DVD/VIDEO_TS/
plus if you have a DVD-RW laying around, it saves discs if there's a prob
You probably could and you could probably get it to play on a computer, but most/all DVD players would have a problem as they expect DVD video on a DVD, not a CD. However most (possibly all) DVD players play VCDs (Video CDs) and SVCDs (Super Video CDs), these use different resolutions to DVD, so you would have to convert your video files to match the expected format. You'll want to use SVCD over VCD since it is better quality, I'm sure you'll find plenty of information if you do a seach on SVCDs. Personally, I haven't bothered making any VCDs since I got a DVD burner as DVDs are better value for money.Quote:

change "sarge" according to your distro and keep all of the official sources from the CDs or debian ftp then
apt-get install transcode mplayer-nogui mjpegtools ffmpeg dvd+rw-tools dvdauthor
that should really save you some time!
A good package for taking an avi and creating a dvd (or vcd or svcd) is "tovid".

Just be prepared for a conversion to take a looong time. When I tried it took about 6 hours as I recall. I also couldn't seek in the resulting DVD, although since it was the first one I had ever made I might have done something wrong. It is fairly simple though, so it has that advantage.Quote:

Actually, I found something even better then the long transcode line I posted here. . .
it's a script somebody wrote that can convert any video file to a vob for a dvd
and you can get it here:
http://mightylegends.*****.org/dvd/any2vob/
It's cool 'cos it let's you encode a whole dir of files to convert to vob, and it does everything in that directory. . .
so for serveral movies in 16:9 format I copy them to a folder somewere and execute:
this is cool because it will also take a stereo track and make it 5.1 surround sound. . .Code:./any2vob.sh --aspect=16:9 --surround=yes -i /mnt/winxp/movies/*
I will definatly have to look into this script.
BTW. Does any one know of a way to Convert DVD's to AVI's in Linux. Other then converting AVI's to DVD this item is the finial step in my Total Linux Conversion.
Thanks
Joel
I guess you didn't look at my link in the 2nd post?
Yeah, and if you want a GUI I personally like AcidRip. It uses mencoder so it's basically the same as je_fro's scripts but more newbie friendly.:)
yea it is nice, except for the lock ups I'm having with mencoder. . . :confused:
EDIT:
and here's why:Quote:
*** This build of Glib was compiled with glib 2.8.3, but is currently running with 2.8.1, which is too old. We'll continue, but expect problems!
AcidRip message - No configuration file found, nevermind.
cool, guys, cool!
i cant wait to give it a try.
i'm having just the same problem as you jailbreaker with ubuntu breezy too. please, did you discover how to solve it?

I've followed the steps on the first commit of this topic but it creates a 5GB dvd_movie.mpg and (at least here in Brazil) we only have 4.7GB DVD-R.
I'm going to sleep now and I left the transcode running with the -Z 352,fast as Icarus told, but I'm afraid that it creates a too small file. My doubt: how can I set the size that transcode will output? Is this possible? In this situation I have a single AVI file with the film The Corporation that I want to see on a DVD Player.
Hope I was wable to say in english what i mean to say :) Thanks, Rodrigo.
I've adapted your technique to a dir full of small avi's...
Works great!!! (I don't like spaces so I remove them...)Code:#!/bin/bash
# if [ -z "$1" ]; then
# echo -e "\nYou must enter the name of an avi file.\n";
# Run this script from a directory full of avi's. Watch your diskspace \
# because the end result is an mpg that's about three times the size of the avi.
for i in *.avi
do
FILENAME=$i
transcode -i "$i" -y ffmpeg --export_prof dvd-ntsc --export_asr 3 -o movie.tmp \

mplex -f 8 -o "$i".mpg movie.tmp.m2v movie.tmp.ac3
