Will I be able to do it with the usual suspects (xine, CT> mplayer, etc)? I can't help you with the hardware part, but I have recently compiled a script that turns a .avi file into a dvd image and burns it to dvd. This works on my Debian unstable system. I got the information for writing it off the net, and just did "apt-cache search <program-name>" for all the programs that weren't installed. The dvd's I write seem a bit flakier on my dvd player than the ones I get from Netflix, but I'm not sure if that's a hardware or a software problem. The symptom is that the dvd player spends a while loading the dvd, and sometimes gives up, although the same disk other times will load and play fine. ================================================avi2dvd.sh========== #!/bin/sh #$1 is name of .avi file MOVIE=`basename "$1" .avi` ffmpeg -i "$1" -y -target ntsc-dvd -sameq "$MOVIE.mpg" dvdauthor --title -o "$MOVIE" -f "$MOVIE.mpg" dvdauthor -o "$MOVIE" -T /usr/bin/growisofs -dvd-video -Z /dev/dvd dvd -- Laura (mailto:lconrad at laymusic.org , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (501) 641-5011 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 If I haven't invited you to the Renaissance Band Christmas Party on December 18, I'm sure its an oversight. <http://www.laymusic.org/xmas05.pdf>
