Who does one burn .avi files to dvd so they play on dvd player connected to a tv?
Typically I do a few things.
This tutorial is great...

Essentially the steps are:
1. Convert .avi file to MPEG2 format with correct audio codec.
2. Create DVD with correct formatting.
I do step one using the above-listed article.
Here's teh command line I use
mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf scale=720:480,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=1 8:aspect=16/9:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192 -ofps 30000/1001 -o file_out.mpg file_in_original.avi
(I'm in the US, so I'm on NTSC.)
I then create a DVD out of my file(s) using KDE DVD Authoring Wizard.

HTH!
Hi Phew. That sounds complicated. I just burn the .avi as a data dvd. It plays fine on my dvd player. Does the method above get better quality? Confused because I think I may be missing out on something! Love from Lynn x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
