I tried 'videotran' that Ray found. The spiel on http://videotrans.sourceforge.net/ I downloaded the source and that was only the beginning of a wild goose chase. .../videotrans-1.4.1... only a 85K .tar.gz however ./configure halted with an error that ffmpeg was required. I obtained ffmpeg and ./configure && make && make install .../videotrans-1.4.1/./configure complained that mpegtools was required I obtained mpegtools, ./configure && make && make install .../videotrans-1.4.1/./configure complained that spumux was required and spumux was part of dvdauthor. I obtained dvdauthor and ./configure, but dvdauthor halted on error that libdvdread (-devel) was required and did not mention where it could be found. I give up. I found 'tovid' and am off on this path: http://tovid.berlios.de//en/index.html "tovid is a collection of video disc authoring tools; it can help you create your own DVDs, VCDs, and SVCDs for playback on your home DVD player. It has a command-line interface as well as a graphical frontend . tovid is free software ." :-| Chuck - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
