I have tried to install tovid. I haven't found it on packman, but there was a rpm for my openSuse 10.0 at rpm.pbone.net which I installed. I couldn't find the gui version (can't locate tovidgui.py on my system???), so I tried the command line version. All I got then was a .mpg-file, slightly smaller than the avi, but Windows still can't play it.
Did you burn that file as a video CD in K3B or did you burn it as a file? I am disappointed that it wouldn't be able to play a simple MPEG file, but VCD is a different format, which if I recall correctly K3B should be able to generate based on the correct MPEG file.
I recently received a CD with some .mov files. They play on my Linux system as well as on Windows and a Mac, too. How did they make those files? I want to be able for that, too - and I am sure there's a way on Linux to achieve that.
Well, you could try mencoder, and convert the file to WMV7 format (lavcopts, vcodec=wmv1). It would be pretty sad if Windows would not be able to play that though the stand alone DVD player will most likely not accept it. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
