<Solved>avi to vob or DVD

[gezza]

Hi  to all,
First let me apologize  if this has been asked before.
How can I convert and avi file to a dvd compatible player file.
I have spent 3 days trying to get 64 bit test 5 to pickup and send emails from kmail On an ACER 9305WSMI system,so I am tired and cannot find any thing to do the conversion.
Kmail is now working but I have now been asked to convert avi to a dvd compatible file for a player, preferably within test 5 -64.
Your thoughts on this subject gratefully received.

I'm not sure what you want to do.
You have an .avi file that doesn't play in a dvd player and you want to convert it to another format that the dvd player will recognize?
Or you want to make a dvd disk with the .avi file for the same purpose?

DVDAuthor
ManDVD  ........  I recommend this one

and others will build a DVD file structure and re-encode if necessary the avi file.

And to add to the list: DeVeDe and DVDStyler

Don't forget Avidemux to generate a standard dvd movie...
For few month, (or years,)  longtom wrote an article for it in our magazine...

+1 for devede

it will produce a iso containing the dvd structure with the movie

Maybe winff which is in synaptic package.

I use DeVeDe it is one of the easiest DVD authoring apps I have found and the results are most impressive.

Format Factory works flawlessly in wine.

Many thanks to all who replied.
 DeVeDe works a treat.
Now I can have a rest after getting the laptop working.
Again, Many thanks.
I will now mark this as Solved.
