Pretty Interesting Linux dvd tidbit i found on techjamiaica

Do you have an AVI file downloaded from your videocamera to your Ubuntu system that you want to put on a DVD for your family? Here are some easy steps:

Create an file called CREATOR in the same directory as your AVI file.
Paste the following into that file. Remember to change the filename in the second line before executing. Some of the options can be changed as needed such as the aspect ratio and burn speed:

Quote:

## Change <movie.avi> to the name of your AVI file
ffmpeg -i movie.avi -y -target ntsc-dvd -sameq -aspect 16:9 movie.mpg
dvdauthor –title -o dvd -f movie.mpg
dvdauthor -o dvd -T
mkisofs -dvd-video -o dvd.iso dvd/
growisofs -dvd-compat -dvd-video -speed=4 -Z /dev/dvd ./dvd/*

Change permissions for CREATOR to become executable and then run it from the command line:

Quote:

ramesh@ubuntu:~/movies$ ./CREATOR
