Hi, OK from TV licence POV: yes
OK for copyright: no Would that stop me: no :) Install Mplayer, w32codecs (from the Medibuntu repos) and the Gstreamer "ugly" codec set. This will give you the ability to play just about any media file. Then install DeVeDe. This will give you the ability to make a DVD that will play in a standard player from any set of files that your newly pimped Mplayer install can play. Enjoy!

Sent: 29 Apr 2009 22:29 I have some material downloaded by BitTorrent of a TV series currently being broadcast. (I believe this is OK from a TV license viewpoint and trust it is from the copyright viewpoint as well.) The download files are .avi format, and while I can view them on my desktop my OH would like to watch them on the regular TV (I can't think why... something to do with the space in here? ;-) The home DVD player does not like a DVD burnt with the .avi files. The TV has an S_Video input but I do not have an S-Video output on the laptop. Likewise a yellow socket whose name I do not know on the TV but not on the laptop. Normal (VGA?) video out on laptop but not in on TV. So no direct connection. Is there a way on Ubuntu to write a 'regular' DVD that will play on a domestic player? -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk -------------------------------------------------------------- Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
