help,
googled a bit and have realised that to get a .avi file i want onto a CD i'll
have to use something like ffmpeg (which i have installed already).
the output that i've used based on the man page for this program is
ffmpeg -i myfile.avi -target vcd /tmp/vcd.mpg (taken from man page!).
Error i get is (complete output)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dos$ ffmpeg -i HopeAndGlory.avi -target vcd /dos/vcd.mpg
