Would suggest "Ogg Convert" - you can find this in Add/Remove programs.

I just tried one, and it seems to have worked okay ...

Cheers

If you're not anti-non-free codecs, consider the Medibuntu project:

http://www.medibuntu.org/

Guides are on the site to add the repositories to your software update
sources, and from there install new files for
non-free/proprietary/binary-only codecs.

Other useful tools for converting video include AVIDemux, mencoder,
transcode and VLC.  All are available in the default repos.

Have you tried dragging them into a Kdenlive project? You can use
Kdenlive's output renderer to convert them, or edit them together and
use Kdenlive's DVD authoring function to chuck them onto a DVD.

DeVeDe will let you convert anything mplayer can play to DVD.

It's in the repos. Awesome program.

Converting .MOV files

2009-06-02 Thread opm595
G'day All,
I have some old video files that are in .MOV.  I can of course play them
with Ubuntu, but can anyone tell me if there's a way to convert .MOV
files to say .MPEG, .OGG or, even better, straight to DVD format so I
can watch them on my telly using my DVD player (plays just about
everything except .mov files)?
Cheers,
Rob
