=============================================
To create simple DVD's (i.e. with no title menu's) you need the following software:

• mplayer
• videotrans
• libxvidcore4
• dvdauthor
• mkisofs

To install all this use:

$ sudo apt-get install mplayer videotrans dvdauthor mkisofs libxvidcore4

Here are the simple steps to format a video for DVD:

First, make sure you can view the video using mplayer:

$ mplayer MyMovie.avi

Then we convert if to DVD mpeg format:

$ movie-to-dvd -m pal MyMovie.avi

This will create two files: MyMovie.m2v and MyMovie.ac3 which we need to merge back together:

$ mplex -f 8 -o MyMovie.mpg MyMovie.m2v MyMovie.ac3

Format the video for DVD:

$ dvdauthor -o dvd/ -t MyMovie.mpg

Create a title page for it:

$ dvdauthor -o dvd/ -T

Create an ISO image to burn to dvd:

$ mkisofs -dvd-video -v -o MyMovie.iso dvd
