I use this shell script which calls mencoder:#!/bin/bash#usage: avitompg video_file.avii=`basename "$1".
Most of the guides that you find online are for going the other way so that you can fit an entire dvd onto one or two cd-roms.Assuming you want to use Linux, you'll need mencoder and dvdauthor, both installable via Synaptic if you use PCLinuxOS.I would recommend renaming your files to remove any spaces in the filenames before proceeding.The first step is to get the files back into mpeg-2 format. There are several steps in the process to convert from avi to dvd. In any case, look in your package manager for dvd programs, and you will likely find plenty for creating DVD video and menus.Adam If you want a menu for the disc, you will need a program like dvdstyler (not sure if that is the name). The disc will need to have the VOB files in the VIDEO_TS folder. Mpeg-4? (Like ease and speed of converting?)The files on the disc will be VOB, and in MPEG-2 format. they all (mostly) seem to be Xvid.avi Any use to me in that form, or do I still need to convert to MPEG-4?Any advantage to using VOB vs.
DVDSTYLER VMGM MENU WINDOWS
So my AVI files are useless on a stand alone DVD player?I have the choice then of converting to Divx if the player supports it, or VOB, which ANY player should handle? Will the VOB files play on a Windows system, say using the VLC media player?And how big do the VOB files get, or can I control that parameter when I convert? How "small" can I make them and still have them look good? (The AVI files are all around 350MB) Should I even be thinking of shrinking them in the first place?Striker: These are files I got from bit torrent, they are DVD rips already. I'm tempted to just burn everything as "data" again but I "did" do that with K3b with one disc, and that disc also won't show its files in VLC Media player. In both cases, K3b gives the error "The project does not contain all necessary VideoDVD files,The resulting DVD will most likely not play on a Hi-Fi DVD player" and "could not determine size of resulting image file"Why is this happening, do I really need to lay these AVI files down as a Video DVD, shouldn't AVI files written as "data" files play on a stand alone DVD player, especially as it is probably not a "Hi-Fi" machine, but a cheap Apex, probably from Wal-Mart?Any help greatly appreciated. Not knowing what these two directories are for, I tired dropping the AVI files into the Video_TS directory, which wouldn't work, then dropped them below the two TS directories, which didn't work either. Figuring that simply putting the files as data files might be the problem, (although this always worked for me when putting AVI files on CD-Rs) I started a "NewProject" from the file menu, and selecfed "set up a Video DCD"The program then shows a waiting window to drop files to be burned into, this window already showing two directories, Audio-TS and Video_TS. avi files on the DVD simply as data files And while I can see and play the files on the DVD on my machine using this external DVD burner, using VLC Media player, neither of thiese DVD's work on her player, and more surprising, her DVD player in her computer doesn't see the files when she tries to open them in VLC Media player in Windows.So I'm trying to burn these in K3b on PCLos. I have an eternal DVD burner that seems to be working properly.The person receiving these can't figure out if the DVD player uses DVD-R or DVD+R, so I burned both to see which worked using Roxio CD/DVD burner in Windows. avi files to DVD in a fashion that will allow playback on a stand alone DVD player attached to a friend's TV.This is my first excursion into burning DVD's of any kind.
