Converting a Video to DVD using ToDisc

Having struggled with many different programs and all other kinds of junk, I think I’ve found my favorite program to convert any video file to DVD in Ubuntu. It’s called ToDisc. It’s part of the Tovid suite.

Here’s why I like it:

  •  Fast! It has no interface so there’s virtually no load time.
  • Accurate encoding - It very accurately creates the output in the manner I specify.
  • Quality - It uses already existing standard utilities to create output, producing clean quality DVDs.
  • No GUI “pains” - smaller space, less resources for visual presentation, the paths are provided from the command line so you don’t have to click through several folders or find icons.
  • The command line gives me the absolute power to do anything i desire with the video.
  • I can run it from anywhere :)

I plan to post a more thorough tutorial in the future.
