Why not use the mp4 formatted version they provide?

You also might want to check out avidemux, unless you really know that cinelerra is the right tool for what you want to do. I'm not suggesting that the crap programs available for Windows and Mac are worth 2 cents, but Linux video software is in a pretty messy state overall. Still no decent editor, and no decent subtitling program. Transcode can make dvd's that totally blow away even the best commercial dvd's, by the way... But I don't know why. Unless all the "pros" are total idiots.
