sglafata Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) I've checked Google and searched all kinds of documentation online, but it seems that they all show how to convert a video file to MP4 format. I have a MP4 file and want to convert it/burn it to DVD so that I may view it on my DVD player. Does anybody know how I can accomplish this? Is there a need? Do DVD players recognize an MP4 file? I'm familiar with converting an AVI to MPG and creating the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders with their associated files. I am using Mandriva Linux 2007 on an AMD64 machine with 2GB RAM. Are there any specific programs that I may need? I have most video/audio RPMs installed. Edited October 8, 2007 by sglafata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I know a few methods, but if you are a Mandriva user, I think simplest one is following this thread at the official mandriva forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManDVD is a DVD Video mastering software.

The goal is to provide an easy-to-use, yet powerful and complete interface to generate DVD menus, slideshows, and videos to burn on a DVD under Linux.

sglafata Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Well... I tried your suggestions and it still won't work. I recently updated my ffmpeg and that may be part of the problem. I do get a ffmpeg error: ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libavformat.so.51: undefined symbol: av_crc04C11DB7 So.... I'm planning on updating to Mandriva 2008 soon. Hopefully that will fix my problem. I'll keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Ah... so you are using a 64-bit OS. You should have told us. Some win32 codecs will simply NOT work properly (or at all) under x86_64 environment, even when using highly sophisticated 32-bit wrappers. Solution: Either install a 32-bit Linux, or do it under windows. When it comes to pure desktop usage, 64 bit operating systems are simply not there- yet. Maybe after one year or so, but definitely not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
