Thanks - ffmpeg does install and works thanks (though I haven't yet tried to 
play in most people's environment).  In fact synaptic might have been enough
 - I haven't used it before and it found and fixed a stack of broken rpm 
dependencies.

Kevin.


You could check out ffmpeg (available via Synaptic Package Manager) to do the 
conversion (MPEG2 to DivX) and K3B to do the burning.

I have used ffmpeg for other conversions. I'd be interested to hear whether it 
does your job.

Dear SLUG,

I'm having difficulties installing dvdrip in FC7.  Could not find a
repository to make life easy.  After working through a practically
bottomless list of rpm dependencies I'm still getting problems like:

error: Failed dependencies:
perl(Event::ExecFlow) is needed by dvdrip-0.98.7-1.fc7.i386
perl(Event::ExecFlow) >= 0.62 is needed by
dvdrip-0.98.7-1.fc7.i386

even though I've installed the current perl-Event-1.09.

Is there an easier path to dvdrip nirvana that I'm missing?

What I'm trying to do is convert some training videos to DivX without
undergoing the the rather torturous command line mencoder / lame tasks.
