    sudo gedit /usr/bin/avi2dvd

    paist this into the file and save

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    
    output=$1

    sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/avi2dvd

    play your avi file into a directory of your choice and cd into it

    cd /home/someuser/avidirectory

    run this comand

    avi2dvd *

    it takes about an hour but the end result is an iso to burn using your favorate cd burning software k3b, nero etc

    I just installed devede. Haven't used it yet (need to buy some blank disks) but it's supposed to do what your script does in a GUI.

    Hello,

    I used this great bit of code once before with great success--thanks again. I'm getting stuck now on one step--"play your avi file into a directory of your choice"--I don't remember how I did this now. Can you help?

    Thanks in advance.

    This is dangerous... If the script is run from a main download folder, it will delete all avi files. I lost the 5 movies that were on my desktop. Please either chnage it to $1 or remove it completely. Nothing tells you that the user wants to delete the file after the transcoding...

    yeh..rm means remove....

    and *.avi means all files contain .avi extension....
