Hello all, I have downloaded several .avi's, and would like to burn them to CD (as VCDs) for viewing on my DVD player. I have a CD-R/RW, but not a DVD-R. I think this should be doable, so long as I'm not burning anything too long, right? I honestly don't know - I've never even messedwith DVD's up until a few weeks ago, when we finaly got around to getting one. Now for the first stumble. steve@gashuffer:~$ file Buffy.avi Buffy.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI OK, should be able to be converted to mpeg (for eventual burning, right? steve@gashuffer:~$ lavinfo Buffy.avi ++ WARN: [lavinfo] Input file Buffy.avi is not in JPEG 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 format **ERROR: [lavinfo] File Buffy.avi has 30.036344 frames/sec, choose norm with +[np] param So this file won't work, apparently. I've tried the manpages for mencoder (from the mplayer source), but as I know next to nothing about video formats, much of it is greek to me. Can someone who understands video formats explain (speak slowly so this doddering idiot can follow you) how to take a file that is apparently an avi (but not the right kind?) and convert it to something useable, if this is indeed possible. Be kind. I still miss betamax. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | The older a man gets, the farther he | | steve@lobefin.net | had to walk to school as a boy. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
