[gentoo-user] Video conversion

[JimD]

Does anyone know of a good guide for converting an xvid to DVD under Gentoo?
I have previously ripped a few of my kids Disney movies.  Now one is broke so
I want to burn from the backup.

Thanks for any help,

JimD

Thanks, I will give them a whirl.  The last time I needed to convert a
divx/xivd to DVD (many moons ago) I used transcode and a bunch of
other tools.  It was a mess :-)

I'll vote for this one too. It converts just about anything to DVD,
without a bazillion cryptic options.

It seems to be removed... or did you use an overlay?

$ emerge -S tovid
Searching...
[ Results for search key : tovid ]
[ Applications found : 0 ]

$ ls /usr/portage/media-video/tovid
ls: /usr/portage/media-video/tovid: No such file or directory

any2vob and any2dvd are excellent tools. They are not in the official portage tree, but there are ebuilds on the author's site. any2vob makes any video file into a dvd compliant vob file. any2dvd leverages any2vob and goes further to make a full dvd iso with menus and chaptering (at predefined intervals). any2vob will even upmix a 5.1 ac3 soundtrack so you get a 5.1 soundtrack from stereo source. Highly recommended, but watch your hard drive space, there are very large temp files created.

There is also a very good long running thread on this software on forums.gentoo.org, just search the forums on "any2vob" and you will find it.

The tovid site has a pointer to the ebuild thread that is in gentoo bugzilla.
