Linux Mint 18.3 xfce
Computer i5, 16 gigs of ram.

Last Sunday 6/3/2018 My dad wanted me to make a video dvd of files from his nature camera. I've always used a program called "devede" For some reason that program won't work for me anymore. Then I tried Brasero, Bombono DVD, K3B, and DVD Styler. I couldn't get any of them to work either. I tried using winff to convert the avi files to mp4s. Those didn't work in any of the programs. Then I broke down and booted up my Windows 7 laptop. I took the original AVI files and put them in the Windows DVD program. 30minutes to an hour later, I had a video DVD! Then I tried printing the documentations to all of the programs I tried. Some of the information wasn't on the official websites. I read the manual to Devede, started on the manual to DVD Styler (34 pages) and I have the manual to k3b. My point is I've been trying to figure out how to create a video dvd on Linux mint for an entire week! Something goes wrong during the file conversion process in these programs.

Install DVDStyler PPA-version.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove libwxsvg0 libwxsvg-dev
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/dvdstyler
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dvdstyler dvdstyler-data mjpegtools

Hi gregoryshock

I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.

It would help to know more about your system setup. If you run "inxi -Fxzd" and "lsusb" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.

I can easily create a DVD to play in home or business Blu-Ray / DVD players using Linux Mint using Bombono (my favorite), DeVeDe, or DVDstyler, etc... There are some good posts on this in this forum, including your previous post.

Assuming you installed the 3rd party software during the installation of Linux Mint (mint-meta-codecs), have you also installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, udftools, mencoder? Restart after installing these.

"K3b" is a superb DVD/CD application for burning (writing) and ripping discs, and I would recommend going into "Synaptic Package Manager SPM", searching for "K3b" right-clicking it, selecting all recommended and suggested packages. Installing the "kde-runtime" might help too because this is a "KDE" application, but it works great on all editions of Linux Mint. Restart after installing this.

If "ffmpeg" is not installed, then install it. I would recommend installing a more updated version 3 using the instructions below.
How to install FFMpeg 3.3 Hilbert on Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 14.04 | Linux Hint
https://linuxhint.com/install-ffmpeg-ubuntu/
To install this using the PPA method, open a console terminal, type in, or copy & paste, each line below one by one: Click "Select All" above command, right-click the highlighted command, select Copy or Ctrl+Insert, click in the console terminal window, and right click paste or Shift+Insert, repeat for each command.

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-3

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt install ffmpeg libav-tools x264 x265

As you suspected, the older "avi" video type might be a problem if you do not have the supporting packages for handling that video type, search "Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)" for "avi", and install those, like "libavi". One simple way to try and get most video packages installed is to install a video editor and all its recommended and suggested packages, like "Kdenlive" which can also create regular DVD discs, and or convert the videos into other formats. Almost any video type can be converted to another easily enough using many excellent video converters like "WinFF", "Transmageddon", "FF multi Converter", Curlew, Avidemux (AppImage), etc...

Once you have the software and the supporting packages for handling videos installed, which only has to be done once, then you should be able to use any of the DVD creator applications or video editors from then on.

Hope this helps ...

IIRC - it's been a while - I had some luck with either dvdstyler or bombono, but ended up using (a sort of old version of) "ConvertXtoDVD" under wine, where it runs great.

You just add files - it can intelligently deal with movies with different formats, aspect ratios and resolutions, and/or still pictures - and it makes a DVD from them.

When I tried to author a video dvd everything started falling apart. I had to completely re install my entire OS. Right now my xfburn program is broken.

Could you be more specific? Author a DVD with what? Did you add a ppa that broke your OS when you installed? When you install software in Linux via the repos, ppas, or deb files it will tell you if installing that will remove other software. You need to look for those messages and if it's going to delete something that looks important, or you don';t understand the packages that will be removed, STOP and abort the install.

I';m also sensing a lot of confusion about the topic in general. Video encoding is a lot more complex than it looks at first. Do you want to make a standard DVD that will play in any DVD player? Encoding to mp4 or avi isn't going to do that, and xfburn, like the other burning apps mentioned, don't actually do that either.

If you want to burn the video files as data that can be played in a DVD player that means encoding to mpeg4 ASP/divx/xvid, but there's no one format/profile used there that's standard enough to play in all DVD players. To do that you need to know the actual format/level/profile supported by the DVD player in question. Just converting to an avi file isn't enough. Avi/mp4/mkv etc are just containers, and they can have different video/audio formats/levels.

DVD compliant video/audio format is pretty ancient by modern codec standards. I'd try a real DVD authoring program, and since the format is so old, I fail to see why you'd need to add a ppa to get one.

But then I've never seen a DVD authoring app that was actually all that good anyway, even in WIndows. I haven't used one of those programs in years and not since my Windows days. The best Windows software I could find (AVStoDVD) was just the best of a bad bunch.

A lot of the problem I think is that these apps are usually used by people wanting to copy DVDs and most places that's illegal. Which tends to scare off a lot of developers. And since DVD is rapidly dying, where's the incentive to write/maintain such software?

To me it's real simple. The program needs to convert whatever format of video file into that of a video dvd for standard DVD players. Windows DVD does that exact task with no bells and whistles. For what I make Video DVDs for I don't need fancy menus with lots of color of back ground pictures. As long as the Disc will give me the options of selecting a video to play and play all, I'm good to go!

I installed all the apps from synaptic. They probably didn't break anything. I want to keep trying for just a bit longer. Because it took me hours and hours to get this Linux Mint install setup the way I like it.

Update 06/12/2018 at 11:15 am.

I have some test hard drives. What I'm going to do is install linux mint 18, and linux mint 18.3 in a duel boot configuration. Then I'm going to test Xfburn on both. If Xfburn gives issues right out of the box then I know that adding in the DVD authoring apps had nothing to do with breaking it. Then I think I proceed in testing the DVD authoring programs. Hopefully I'll be back with more and better information for you kind folks!

You've given me too much information at once. I will need to split this up into several sections.

I think the program DeVeDe is out the question. According to the manual DeVeDe can only handle 61 files. I have 63! Windows DVD handled all 63 with no complaints. It is my opinion that most of the DVD authoring software has more bells and whistles then I need. Maybe too many bells and whistles for me to learn. All the programs I had tested acted very strange. Two of them errored out and two of them looked at my 63 files and gave me back only 2.

I will follow your instructions and give you all the information you asked for.

If you look at some of my most recent additions to this thread you should find the information from the first two commands. inxi -Fxzd and lsusb.

Hi gregoryshock,

As long as the videos do not exceed the capacity of the DVD (4.3gb), I do not think there should be a problem. Although, I never had 63 separate video clips to add to any of these programs. If you did run into a number of files issue with one or more of the aforementioned applications, then combine 1 or more video clips into a single video clip before adding to a DVD authoring application. As for a lot still pictures (images), create a single slideshow video of those first, then add the slideshow video of those along with your other videos to a DVD authoring application.

I did a training video a long time ago with Bombono and maybe some others which should be in the link I provided before, and there are other videos on YouTube for these applications as well.

I did not have a problem adding an AVi video file to Bombono last night as long as I had the packages I mentioned before installed. I installed Linux Mint 18.3 Xfce yesterday along with the packages I mentioned to run a DVD authoring application test using "Xfce" myself, but have not yet had the time to complete it.

I do know that you can easily create a DVD disc to play in home or business Blu-Ray DVD players because I have done this many times before as have others in this forum. There are a few good posts in this forum on this including the Link I already gave you. Obviously, it may take as little time and effort to learn how to use one or more of these DVD authoring applications, but like everything else, once you know how, it is easier from then on.

Good Luck...

Keep us posted on your progress.

Right now I'm stuck because something that I install broke something in the program xfburn. I had to create a test install of Linux Mint 18.3 just to figure out what program broke it. Since it appears that all my issues began when I started experimenting with the dvd authoring programs. I kinda think one of those broke it! Learning these programs could take me weeks. If that is the case then it's probably not worth the time. I'll keep you posted.

Posted: **Tue Jun 12, 2018 6:30 pm**

Hi gregoryshock,

I finally had some extra time to complete my test with Linux Mint Xfce 18.3 and Bombono. It worked perfectly as usual with 80 ".avi" videos and some other ".mp4" videos thrown in for good measure.

After installing the packages I already told you about, I could not find 60+ avi videos. So, I converted a video I did have into an avi video and then split that into 80 separate videos (13.5mb each), and Bombono had no problems with adding those and a few more.

If you watch my Bombono DVD tutorial or other tutorials on YouTube, you will see how easy it is to use. If you like, I can create another one where there are a lot of video clips. I like the output options where I can create DVD folders, or an ".iso" file, for burning to a DVD disc with another application or select directly to the DVD disc.

Regardless whether you use MS Windows, Mac, or Linux, anyone can break their system or an application doing various things, like installing other software, sometimes updates, etc... Always read any comments during installation and removal of any software, If there is something you do not understand click cancel or exit, then ask here.

I prefer to use the "Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)" for installing software because at the bottom there is a place that shows "broken" for broken packages, If I try to install something the system does not like, it will show there, and I can right-click that package and select not to install it, and the broken number goes back to zero.

Hope this helps ...

Hi gregoryshock,

You are welcome...

Bombono Tutorial - Bombono DVD
http://www.bombono.org/Bombono_Tutorial

The "xfburn" (v0.5.4) DVD/CD application is already installed in Linux Mint Xfce 18.x, and it is still working on my freshly installed Xfce system even after installing the packages I recommended.

But, I still prefer "K3b" which I consider the best DVD/CD application in Linux. It looks like xfburn can burn ".iso" files to DVD discs, so it should be able to use a Bombono project, if you use the output option to write to a file which creates a "dvd.iso" file. I do not know that if it can use xfburn directly?

FYI: You do not need to keep the previously quoted text from my replies or others unless you are making a point for point reply, so before you submit your reply or post, delete the duplicated text, please.

FYI-2: "K3b" can easily burn or "rip" audio CD's as well.

Sorry I was just taking the easy way out for replying. I've been working so hard on this issue that I'm seeing double.

Try dragging in mp3 files into the xfburn create audio cd. That is what quit working for me.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt install ffmpeg libav-tools x264 x265

I always install the third party packages when I install Linux Mint.

I installed the ppa and the ffmpeg

One simple way to try and get most video packages installed is to install a video editor and all its recommended and suggested packages, like "Kdenlive" which can also create regular DVD discs, and or convert the videos into other formats. Almost any video type can be converted to another easily enough using many excellent video converters like "WinFF", "Transmageddon", "FF multi Converter", Curlew, Avidemux (AppImage), etc...

I'm crossing my fingers because this came up. I think it is due to the added ppa for ffmpeg. I hope it doesn't break something.

Hi gregoryshock,

Just click okay to that message from installing ffmpeg.

FYI: If you click the "rimg" toolbar button when posting or replying before pasting a URL link to an image, it will show in the forum.

Should look similar to that below

I tried to use the insert image button but I got an error telling me that my image is too big. Thank you for the tip!

That link works, but, I'm not sure why your video isn't showing up in your channel video list. I'll watch it and then I'll get back with you.
