Is there....

Postby RD » Thu Jul 28, 2005 3:49 pm

Hi

Im woundering if there is a tool to convert an avi to mpg/mpeg then to .vob and all the other types of files a dvd would need to play on a standard dvd player (the tv type not pc type), ive had a look at tovid and when i came to install it i complained that the depens was not met which i found stange as most of them are required by dvd::rip


Thanks

tovid seems to be the kiddy. What distro do you use?

Why not install the missing dependencies? Most of them isn't enough :(

How are you trying to install it, from source or an RPM file?

It is likely you need to install the -devel RPMs for the dependencies.
