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:

ramesh@ubuntu:~/movies$ ./CREATOR
I appreciate things like these and I’ve adopted enigma’s style and started blogging them cause it sucks when you wanna do something and you cant remember off your head.. the good old blog is always here for me.
Now to the windows operating system enthusiast the first thing your gonna run your mouth and say is.. but look how much work you gotta do to burn a dvd file.. well here wah S…T….F…U.. yeah you heard it.. i said it.. shut it donkey (shrek voice).. i reallly dont give a damn.. it works its free so go die or something.
