Xvid to DVD format?
Comments

Well, the xvid file I had has now been converted to DVD format, it took 1hour 28mins 50secs in total.
Unfortunately I have no blank DVD's to write to here at work so will get it burn't and check quality tomorrow."Gort, klaatu barada nikto"

hi raptorman
There are Linux packages too.
The one I use is tovid.
This is the link :- http://http://tovid.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
From the command line you can type:-
tovid -pal -dvd -in VIDEO -out movie
Where the input VIDEO (without any suffix) is your Xvid file that you've renamed.
The resulting output is a file movie.mpg which is DVD compliant MPEG2 and is PAL system for UK (not NTSC for USA).
It still takes hours to convert a full-length movie, but that depends on your CPU speed.
Then you use two other commands, makexml and makedvd.
To make the xml file you type:-
makexml -dvd movie.mpg -out MyDisc
Then to author the DVD file structure from the xml file type:-
makedvd -author MyDisc.xml
This leaves you with a ready to burn folder called MyDisc containing the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders.

Standard .vob files."Gort, klaatu barada nikto"

Ok, thanks.Standard .vob files.
I expect that DVDflick will use those vob files to create a folder structure when it does the burn.
(If you put a store-bought movie DVD in your drive and explore it, you'll see what I mean).

Another one to try is DVDSanta
You can download it from here http://uk.share.geocities.com/wacko912/ its only 2 megs
The encoding time is usually around the lengh of the movie and has built in burner software
The interface is very simple - THERE ARE NO COMPILICATED SETTINGS
Just remember to select PAL.
