Hi, I can confirm that tovid failed for me as well. However, this mencoder commandline seems to have created a working DVD-compatible mpg file (PAL): mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf scale=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:aspect=16/9:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192 -ofps 25 -o sany0002_1.mpg sany0002_1.mp4 (googled and stolen from linux.com) >From there you should be able to use one of the many GUI dvd-creation tools to make it into a proper DVD ISO image that you can burn. Or you can do it manually by following the rest of the tutorial: http://www.linux.com/articles/53702 BTW cute kid :) good luck, paul
