I have not got any replies. Considering that in Finland the main Digital TV recording format is DVB TS and that DVD uses VOBs, I find it hard to believe that nobody knows how to convert between them. I kind of expected that GNU/Linux has a DVD burner which has button "burn this video to DVD", but I could not find such a thing. Neither I could not find a video editor which can edit DVB TS files. I use head/tail/split now. Instead, the geek stuff is pouring from every corner. Here is my best attempt so far: 1. ffmpeg -i test.ts -vcodec copy -acodec copy test.vob 2. copy a commercial DVD to /tmp/dvd/ 3. overwrite test.vob to vts_01_1.vob (byte-to-byte overwrite because test.vob is smaller) 4. growisofs -speed=4 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd -udf -dvd-video /tmp/dvd Problems: -First try with ffmpeg made a poor quality vob, and much smaller; every option adds to geek-meter! -ffmpeg with "copy" made vob which works poorly in Xine; skip forward/backward does not work -ffmpeg with "copy" made vob which works very poorly in LG DVD player: video skips, has noisy dropouts in audio, and eventually freezes I don't think the problem is in the way how I made the DVD, because Xine can play the commercial vobs well, but not the vob made by ffmpeg. I tested movie-to-dvd as well, but it wanted to convert the audio to WAV first. Stopped the test to that point. WAV conversion should not be necessary. I also tested other DVD burners but it looks like they could not make the required UDF disc. Check!
