Re: convert video

Making video dvd:

dvdauthor

create DVD-Video file system
dvdauthor is a program that will generate a DVD movie from a valid
mpeg2 stream that should play when you put it in a DVD player.

qdvdauthor

GUI frontend for dvdauthor and other related tools
The goal is to provide an easy-to-use, yet powerful and complete interface
to generate DVD menus, slideshows, and videos to burn on a DVD.

KDE DVDAuthor Wizard

Description:
This wizard will allow you to create a DVD from one or more DVD compatible MPEG-2 files. It is designed to be very easy to use. All you need to do is add one or multiple files to the playlist and answer the questions that follow.

You can add a menu that will contain animated thumbnails of the files in the playlist. Creating a menu is optional.

Requirements:

* Kommander >= 1.0 (part of kdewebdev >= 3.3.0)
* ImageMagick 6.2 or 6.3
* MJPEGTools
* Sox
* DVDAuthor >= 0.6.11
* Transcode

Video: Sorenson Video 3 (ffmpeg) 491x208 (480x208)

Or try avidemux

With avidemux you can open divx, process the audio track with the included
filters and save a part of the avi (i.e. split).
