[arch-general] ConvertXToDVD alternative for Linux.
Hi, One of the very few reasons that I still Dual boot windows is that I don't know how to convert media files from one format to another in Linux. On windows I use 2 very easy to use softwares namely FormatFactory and ConvertXToDVD for my needs. Can you guys tell me about any Linux alternative to that? I tried installing ConvertXtoDVD using wine. The main program installs fine but the DVD menu templates, though installed, aren't detected by the program and hence I cant use the DVD menus. Thanks.

Perhaps `ffmpeg' or `mencoder' from `mplayer' can do.

# pacman -Ss devede community/devede 3.17.0-2 [1.93 MB] [installed] A program to create VideoDVDs and CDs I use devede to put video on to dvds, I haven't found anything yet it can't convert (mencoder backend).

Click menu options and have a play. It has enough functions for myself but I only really put single titles on a disc and have them auto play. Also clicking on a titles properties can set a title to loop, play next, play last or stop ... etc Regards Marshall

OK. I have installed devede but when I start it, it says that it needs spumux to run. I can't seem to find it in the repos and AUR.

That is provided by the package dvdauthor. I used pkgfile from pkgtools to find that out, by the way. There's also nosr in the AUR. Just something to keep in mind.

I did install dvdauthor along with devede. Do I have to install something else? Trying to install devede-git from AUR. Hope that works.

Nopes. It didn't work. Showing the same spumux not present error. :(
spumux it's a very simple comand line utility to mux subtitles into mpg
files, search for it it should be trivial to make a pkgbuild for this piece
of software.

It is part of the dvdauthor package.

I'm not able to reproduce this, and this cannot happen. dvdauthor is in the dependency chain, and dvdauthor provides spumux. See if you can't run both from the commandline. Remove them all: pacman -Rscn devede Then install them again (you should see dvdauthor in the list of dependencies). -- GPG/PGP ID: 8AADBB10

I use xcfa for audio files (it's in AUR). The only trouble I have with this program is that I can't remember the name. There are a couple of programs in the repos as well, but those have DE dependencies, soundconverter for gnome and soundkonverter for kde. Back when I used those I preferred soundkonverter.
