It's depends on your taste, you have avidemux2, mplayer and transcode, all

I have avidemux2, I will try that-- open the avi file, see if avidemux2
will allow saving to mpeg, then try a burn and play in home DVD player.
That would be simple if it works.


I have an old xorg.conf for one card with tv-out

Thank you, I will save the above as a useful file to play with, get
s-video out working. It would be fun to do a LAN game and let guest
nongamers watch the multiplayer action with popcorn in my living room on
the 60" TV while the gamers play!




A good idea as usually is to make a backup of the current xorg.conf,

Yes that idea has come in handy in the past :)
