It does not matter, because a cheap > device with my old TV can do that! You're much nearer than you think. First, you do not need to change the format or to edit those files in any way. As well as the files you list, you should have a directory called AUDIO_TS. Use k3b or any other burning application to copy both AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS onto your dvd. (It doesn't matter if AUDIO_TS is empty.) You then have a playable DVD. However, you will need other packages installed to play them, as those are not supplied with FC, due to potential illegality in some countries. You can get them through some of the external repositories, probably freshrpms or livna. You certainly need libdvdcss, and you should get every codec package you can see, as you will also need them for mp3 and some other multimedia formats. Anne
