Heres a little script I made long ago to convert single AVI files to DVD. No menus or anything, just chuck it in the player and off you go... echo "Lets GO!!!" rm -rf final.mpg && rm -rf DVD.iso && rm -rf DVD/ ffmpeg -i $1 -target pal-dvd -aspect 16:9 final.mpg dvdauthor -o DVD/ -t final.mpg dvdauthor -o DVD/ -T mkisofs -dvd-video -v -o DVD.iso DVD Thats for a 16:9 video. You can change the 16:9 to 4:3 for the standard TV size. Experiment with what encoding works best for your TV.
