This project lets you take video files (files with extension
like .mpg, .mpeg or .avi to name a few) and
burn them to disc to create video DVDs,
SVCDs or VCDs that you can
watch with normal DVD/CD players.
In order to use all the potential of the video project, you
need to install all GStreamer's plugins,
ffmpeg,
vcdimager and
dvdauthor. See your operating
system documentation for more information on how to
install all these applications.
To create a video project, proceed as follows:
-
Insert a blank CD or DVD into your drive.
-
Click on Video project in the main
window or choose .
-
From the pane on the left of the window, browse the
file system searching for video files.
Select the files you want by double-clicking on them or
by selecting them and clicking the
Add button at the top left of the
toolbar.
If you don't see the pane on the left, choose or press F7.
-
In the text box, enter the title you want to
give to the disc. This title will be shown as the name
of the disc.
-
When all the files have been added, click on
Burn.
-
The Disc burning setup dialog will be
shown; make any desired modifications (see Section 3.3.1 ― Video Project Options).
-
Click on Burn to start the
burning process.
When adding files, refer to the status bar at the bottom
of the window to see how much space you are using on your
CD/DVD.
To save the project for later use, choose
.
Before starting the burning process, it is possible to
modify some of the burning options.
