Another set of scripts quite good and simple for the same job is videotrans: http://videotrans.sourceforge.net/ «videotrans is a set of scripts that allow its user to reformat existing movies into the VOB format that is used on DVDs. Furthermore, videotrans supplies programs which allow its user to create a complete DVD, including selection menus which allow the viewer to choose which movie he/she wants to see, if more than one movie fits onto a DVD.» Paul Paul
