I have avi files in xVid format from my Camera, and I want to create a

I have searched through the various repos (including rpmforage and

I have a number of programs that have no trouble displaying these
files. Including xzine, Avidemux, and VideoLAN-Client).
I unfortunately have to make these CDs for tomorrow morning, 8am for
my wife to take to her class....
well, I know nothing about Linux video tools, but I can tell you that
you'll have to convert them from XVID (MPEG4 streams embedded in AVI
format) to straight MPEG1, 352x240(NTSC) or 352x288 (PAL), 25 or 30 FPS,
at a specific videoCD profile, constant bandwidth of 1.150 Mbit/sec with
MPEG layer 2 audio at 224kbit/sec (xvid probably uses Mpeg Layer 3
audio, which is incompatible with the strict VideoCD specification)..
THEN you need to embed these in a VideoCD disk format, which is a CD/XA
Mode II Form II format, rather than the more conventional redbook CD-Rom
aka ISO9660.]
AND, most CD players don't play VideoCD... SOME(many?) DVD players do,
however.
If you were on Microsoft Windows, I'd probably suggest using Nero Vision
Express (part of Nero Ultra, $$) to do this, it will generate either
proper VideoCD or DVD Video formats from AVI files, but there's dozens
of other tools suitable for video trans coding (the Nero stuff does a
very decent job on the video compression if you set its options for 2
pass and best quality).

I got 2.0.4 from one of the repos; I have not figured out how to tell
afterwards, which repo I got an rpm from. yumex tells you before
install, but does not supply this info once installed. So I can't easily
go to the repo manager and ask for the current version....
I see that avidemux just puts out a file, then you have to use other
tools to actually write the disk. I rather make CD not DVD format, and
their wiki only talks about DVD output format, so I still have some
research to do.
