Problems with Brasero and burning DVD's

By Chris Sislo at 05/28/2012 - 23:49

I posted in the past and got little help this time I know more and I'm
hoping someone can help me, anyways I thought I installed the necessary
packages and I tried reinstalling and that did no good either, I want to
burn a video file and when I try Brasero it says converting mpeg files
to mpeg 2 so am I to get this right first I must convert either .avi, or
mpeg4 files. My system is a Acer Aspire X1920 and all I need is DVD
files burnt I have other things to check out that might help but I have
installed all the good,bad,ugly and nice plugins from synaptic package
manager and still got nowhere.

Hi!

1. Try k3b (I like it a lot).
2. If you just want to write the files into the DVD, ie: a data DVD,
you just create a "New Data Project" in k3b, and then just drag the
files there, after that: burn it, and you are don.

Now, if you want a DVD that you can play on any standard DVD player,
you will have to create a DVD structure, and that implies converting
the files to MPEG-2.... I have never done that, though, because if I
want to burn videos into a DVD, I usually watch it on the computer,
and if I want to watch it on the TV, I just use an USB drive, and plug
it to the TV (this TV reads videos from USB).

I hope this helps,

What are you starting out with that you want to make into a DVD? There are
so many possibilities and each one requires a different method.
