Brasero
I've not managed to successfully burn a video DVD from an avi file on Brasero, as it mentions insufficient plugins.
I've scoured forums all over the place about this, but haven't managed to find a decent fix for it. I used to use DeVeDe which was pretty good, but unfortunately the dependencies are not there on Trisquel for it.
Has anyone had more luck than me with Brasero? If so I'd love some help with this!
Are you trying to burn the file on to the DVD? Or are you trying to turn it into a movie DVD for all DVD players?
Nah it was to convert avi to regular video DVD - irrelevent now as I've ditched Trisquel - lack of support!
I am a translator!
Sigh...we've got to work on that. :)
ditto... And all it would have taken was to point out DVD Styler...

and maybe these links...

If your still reading... it's because DVD players that you hookup to your TV don't always operate like your computer. Some may have "features" to read things like avi, mp3, or divx. But most; particularly the more reasonably priced, don't. The look in VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directories for VOB files. The VOB files is what it's actually playing. The TS stands for Title Set. Go Wikipedia VOB and you'll understand.
I tried dvdauthor, ffmpeg and countless other things in between, but alas it wasn't that simple. Debian's sorted it though! I will no doubt try Trisquel again at some point (I even got my parents off M$ and onto it) but I think I'll stick with Deb for a bit. Cheers for all the responses though.
