Mpg conversion to DVD player

[elder73]

Recently I have been away and have recorded most videos that I record, online, and generally in the mpg format.

Mostly I record on disks and play them on a DVD player and so I would like to convert all of the mpg's to that format. Windows has a free software called DVD Styler and so I am wondering if there is the same for linux under Kubuntu.

If such software exists would you point me to it, and provide instructions on how to install it. I have been away from linux for quite a long time and my memory is full of holes,

Thank you for your help.

The easiest DVD creation software is probably Devede. But there is also DVD Styler. Both of these are available in the repositories, so you can use Synaptic, Muon Discover, or whatever package manager you want to install it, or by using apt-get.
Just a note as I can't remember, you may need to enable the restricted or universe repositories

There are other software but these are the two that I've used the most.
With Devede, it's super easy but menu creation is very basic, but does a decent job, and for better quality video make sure for each video file you add go to: Advanced Options - Quality, and select Dual-pass.

Thank you Vinny and dtr, I will try them all and see where I end up. I have been away from home for the past few months and stuck with Windows on my laptop. It was such a pleasure to get home and fire up Kubuntu again.
