Hal et allia:

 I converted three (3) .avi files and burned them to DVD and can
play them on my DVD player.  Text menu also! :-)
I installed videotrans and stumbled through enough required
additional project installations to get it to work.  Thus:

#!/bin/sh
# create a DVD-player for .avi movies

movie-to-dvd -m ntsc -d letterbox -a 4:3 CloseToHomeS01E08.avi 
CloseToHomeS01E09.avi CloseToHomeS01E10.avi

movie-make-title-simple -o title -m ntsc -n none

movie-title -T 2x2 -c none -o title.vob -t title CloseToHomeS01E08.m2v 
CloseToHomeS01E09.m2v CloseToHomeS01E10.m2v

dvdauthor -o dvd_directory -x title.vob-dvdauthor.xml

growisofs -dvd-video -Z /dev/dvd dvd_directory

#end

 There is some word wrapping in my display while entering this note.
The commands are double spaced, so if you see consecutive lines,
there was 'word wrap' and not a newline.  ;-)

HTH, Chuck
