Ubuntu Unleashed

I used to run this application all the time in windows.. Guess what? You can run it on Ubuntu with wine. There is allot of Converting,Encoding,Burning software for Linux but I love this little application, check it out, let me know what you think. btw the errors in the screenshot do not effect burning/reencoding at all, only the video preview function that sucks anyways :)



I'll hook you up with the full version here
Howto Install:
apt-get install wine
then download and unzip the package and run like windows :)
Here is some info from the ConvertXtoDVD site:

ConvertXtoDVD is a video converter software to convert and burn your videos to DVD. With ConvertXtoDVD and a few clicks you can backup your movies to DVD playable on any home DVD player.

ConvertXtoDVD supports most popular formats such as AVI to DVD; Mpeg, Mpeg, Mpeg4, MP4, VOB, WMV, DV and stream formats to DVD. It converts your files into a compliant DVD Video set of files and burns it on a DVD media. The ConvertXtoDvd does not need an external AVI codec download. It uses its own AVI codecs.

Looking for free video converter software? ConvertXtoDVD is free video converter evaluation software - a small payment and you no longer have the VSO watermark on the video output.

The aspect ratio can be automatically selected or forced to a specific format. The program works for NTSC and PAL video formats and creates chapters automatically. Multiple audio tracks are supported. Version 2 uses a completely rewritten interface with subtitles support and a lot of new settings.

VSO ConvertXtoDVD is neither affiliated with, nor using technology from Divx Networks!
