I use application to convert any video called VisualHub. Very easy to do.

The MacUpdate link for Sizzle is dead but I found it at Softpedia:

Quicktime Pro, plus Perian will let you turn it into something iMovie can feed 
to iDVD.

Alternatively, FFMPegX will let you do the transcoding. 

still need iDVD or the very hard-to-find Sizzle to author the DVD.

FLV is a container file (like .mov, .avi, .mkv, .mpg) that can 
contain a number of different data streams, in various formats.


DVD-Video requires MPEG 2 video and MPEG 1 layer 2 audio, broken up 
into a special layout.


Some DVD Players also support playing certain container files, of 
varying formats.  Mine, for example, will do AVI files that contain 
certain MPEG4 codecs and MP3 audio.


You need to transcode your flash media file into something your DVD 
Player can handle.


One of my fav tools is Burn.app.  Set Burn to do a DVD-Video, drag 
the container file onto it, and it automagically handles the 
transcoding then the reformatting, then burning process.

Burning video

2011-12-28 Thread Dale Goodvin 
I am using OSX 10.5.8 and cannot figure out how to burn a video file that I've 
downloaded onto my my hard drive onto a dvd.  The file is in the following 
format:  "name of file.flv"  and plays via Adobe Media Player.  If I just burn 
the file itself onto a dvd, of course it is "unrecognizable" to the dvd player, 
so I need to know how to do convert it into a recognizable video format.

Thanks in advance for any help provided,

Dale
