How do I use Brasero to burn a movie in DVD format?
I have to present an assessment for my Uni course in the form of a DVD movie (so it can be played on a DVD player) but so far, Brasero doesn't seem to be doing it. For example, I left it for over an hour today (as it said it was burning) and the DVD came out empty.
Other times, it flat out says it cannot burn the DVD. I am running Ubuntu 10.10, I have ubuntu restricted extras installed and the Medibuntu packages that allow me to watch DVDs.
Any ideas?
That's right. Brasero does not make DVDs. However there are many tools around that work fine. I'd recommend DeVeDe (see multiverse) for easy doing so. Or, alternatively any other video authoring software.
Other good softwares for dvd authoring are:
- Bombono
- DVDStyler
Hope you'll find useful.

sudo apt-get install dvdauthorBrasero now burns DVD's!

- Open a terminal
Insert and run this command:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras- Try to create the DVD now.
The question appears to concern burning rather than authoring, encoding etc. For burning a DVD I mostly use K3b.
