Tovid really is great. I've been searching for a tool like this for almost a month, Im glad I found this great tool.

anyways, Why some avi's when converted to mpeg looses it sound? I think the avi is divx. I have this movie.avi (dont know if its Divx or what) and It worked when I convert it to mpeg, but the movie2.avi I converted worked as an mpeg but it does not have sound..

Sounds cool, I'm getting a bit tired og Qdvdauthor.

Did you install the Debian packages from http://packages.kirya.net ?

And a bit off topic question, is this "safe", I'm comming from the "unsafe" win32 platform, that's why I'm a little concerned about inserting experimental repositories into my sources.list. Could it include malicious code?

Sorry about that :???: But it was almost at the top in the search list I had, searching on "?" Damn forgot the topic..

I read some of the other posts about Tovid and DVDstyler.
DVDStyler 1.5, I was unable to install, due to some dependency problems.
I'll try Tovid, when I get home from work...

I like tovid, but prefer it on the command line where you have more options. The GUI has never worked for me, and on the command line you can run tovid-batch easily - and convert hundreds of videos at once to any format.

I documented this and other tovid and video conversion tips for ubuntu linux in my video help page (http://smorgasbord.net/convert_video_linux).

Cool thanx, always nice to have people contribute such work.

But once again, this topic is rather old, and I've already moved on, I found a way to get dvdstyler installed, and that has worked perfectly since.
I'm not a big fan of the commandline..:-? Probably why I've used windows for so long(I'm cured now, don't worry).

Yes, the cli works "better" + you have access to the cli -options like -ffmpeg and -fit (to a discsize).

Actually the cli is not any more difficult. Add your movie(s) and then press the encode button. You'll see a little [SAVE TO SCRIPT] in the bottom right. Save the script, edit out the -menu and then (set permissions to execute) run the .sh
