Hi Gunnar,
the explanations from Alex/Siegerstein are all very true but more
something for hardcore linuxer.
The (much) easier way is to pass by the Penguin Liberation Front
http://plf.zarb.org/ and check there the things they've already
packaged. Transcode and mandvd belong to it, so it should be as easy as
adding the right repository to urpmi and installing the packages you need.
As a general rule, under Linux: yes, you can build everything yourself
from source, but generally someone else has already done the job for you.
Cheers, Eric

Dear forum,
my problem is that I want to be able to burn video files to CD:s or DVD:s and
I want to do it with Linux (Mandriva 2008 free).
My cousin does this regularly, he's using Windows and says it's a piece
of cake.
I've tried to burn video files with K3b, but I always fail, the
text "Error" shows and if I have the audio on I can hear a sound like a
scornful laughter from the loudspeakers. This is not to my liking.
Looking for a solution, I found an article about the program ManDVD
claiming that "Let me tell you beforehand that this program is simply
amazing. The amount of tasks it can achieve is enormous........."
Well, I downloaded it but it didn't work, probably because some support
programs were missing, among them Transcode.
Tried to download Transcode and studied the instructions in Transcode
Wiki, such as Documentation - Building Transcode - Installation instructions
and understood absolutely nothing.
Starting with the first command in the instructions
./configure --help
in what catalogue am I supposed to be when I write this command?
I've tried with my home catalogue but the only result is the
message "Doesn't exist such a file or folder" (my translation from the Polish
language).
The instructions under the headers Building Transcode - Introduction are
also very puzzling to me.
So, if anybody in this world knows how to install and use Transcode and
knows how to tell it, please tell me.
Newbie for ever.
