Hi Folks, I have a .avi video file (copied to HD off my digital camera): approx 30 min approx 2GB file -- video + audio.
I have also converted it to MPEG2 with PAL-vieo option (.mpg) using ffmpeg (approx 1.2 GB).
I now want to make a video DVD from it. The tool I have seen recommended in the Web is dvdauthor, but my Debian Lenny refuses to install this (says it can't download/can't find some essential files in the repositories).
Basically, the desired end result is a DVD that someone can pop into a standard DVD player and watch on their TV.
Any suggestions?
With thanks, Ted.

I have used devede a number times.

Hmm, it appears that I can install it on a Lenny vm with no issues, maybe there's been a security update and you haven't done an apt-get update recently - try doing that and then see if it'll install.
Cheers,

Thanks, Brett. I hve now run apt-get update, and I get the following error during the run:
Err http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny/main Packages 302 Found
summarised at the end as:
W: Failed to fetch http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages 302 Found
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
When I ran synaptic and selected devede for installation, I got a similar message that it could not download devede_3.12c-0.0_all.deb (giving the full URL). So in Firefox I went to that URL, found the file, and downloaded it that way. Then dpkg -i ... installed it from the local .deb without any hitch.
(And I have to say that 'devede', while it has a somewhat tedious GUI interface, does so a good job on creating a DVD ISO from, e.g., an AVI file).
But I'm a bit puzzled by this Debian synaptic behaviour. If I can down load stuff directly, it should be able to too!
Anyway, problem now solved. Allegedly. Ted.
