When you drop a mpeg file on to a dvd it is like droping a file onto a disc. It's just a file. Two things you can do: 1. Use DeVeDe as already suggested this sets up the aforementioned dvd structure so it will play on dvd players. 2. You can try the device already in Ubuntu go to brasero and select video project. Drop your video in there and it should create a dvd player, playable dvd. You need to add some files in order to do that though so open brasero and click on help->contents F1 and ensure they are in place first. -- Seek That Thy Might Know http://www.davmor2.co.uk
