It has 3 options... create a video file, create some directories to put on a DVD, or make an ISO, which just means it is packed into a single file that can be burnt to a DVD easily.

no of course i dont take it personally. i know your intention is to help! I set devede last night...it converted to the MPEG format! i thought i converted it to iso.

Please do not take what I am going to write as in any way getting at you personally but, I have been here from the time the list started and I have always been led to believe that the best way to get help is first try to help yourself. Google is always a good place to start and work on from there. It's either that or have patience, set up DeVeDe and go to bed. It will be done by morning.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] DVD burning problems.
DeVeDe is indeed very slow. I use it quite a lot, but I have come to the point where I am writing my own simple script to do the same job. I can't say yet that it will be any faster... video transcoding involves a great amount of processing. However I do have this feeling that DeVeDe takes a lot longer than it should. I can share the script when I have it working. Apologies for the top-post :-) Matthew.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] DVD burning problems.
devede is indeed slow..know of anything faster that will convert to iso? I will try a different media... when using the cd/dvd creator default program i get an error message along the lines of " unexpected handle." well handle something anyway! > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com> Date: Thu, 4 Oct > 2007 09:30:14 +0100> Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] DVD burning problems.> > > > I > think that's a second problem.> > > > The main one, as Popey said is that > your drive doesn't support the> > media format on the disk you inserted.> > > Be that as it may, in order to read the video it will be necessary to> > convert the .avi file into .iso file.

The main one, as Popey said is that your drive doesn't support the media format on the disk you inserted. Try a different blank DVD, or one from another manufacturer. Then post any error messages you get again, or look for the "Wrong medium type" error again.

I presume that you want to burn the files so that you can watch a video on your television or somewhere. From my experience I do not think that will work and you need to convert the .avi files using something like DeVeDe which is slow but effective then look to the burning process.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] DVD burning problems.
ok here goes! i was trying to burn a couple of avi files as a dvd with k3b. and once i click on burn all that happens is that a little pop up appears with a progress bar stating "reformating disk". after that i just wait and all that happens is the dvd rom just opens and closes on its own. nothing else. in the end i just end up cancelling it! hth regards javad > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 18:59:34 +0100 > Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] DVD burning problems. > > > > ok apologies. i thought id start a new thread. > > > > tried burning with k3b but that failed miserabley. > > I have just noticed this thread and wondered if I could help.
