DVD Authoring/Burning/Codec Conversion Guides for Linux

[Changturkey]

Anyone know of Linux specific burning guides for burning a basic DVD to play on your DVD player? I have a bunch of .VOB files. In relation, I would also like to ask is .VOB the only kind of file that can be burned to a DVD to be played on a regular DVD player?

Many DVD players these days support DivX so you can just create a normal data dvd with the files on it and the player should play them if it supports DivX

The Wikipedia article on .Vob says that it can be "easily done" with software like K3b, but I'm still unsure :(

Yeah I am just trying to find a guide with screen shots hopefully. I am not sure my parent's DVD supports Divx so that's why I am concerned about changing video formats in to what I believe is MPEG-2? AVI? Ugh :confused:.

Take a look at devede.

It will make a playable dvd or cd out of any format supported by mplayer. I've used it to convert an avi to iso and then burned the iso using growisofs.



growisofs -dvd-compat -Z <device>=dvd.iso
