Hi guys,

need help.

I don't know why this is so difficult. In windows I just use the inbuilt software and burn the dvd.

I have an mp4 video file. I just want to create a dvd that will play in a dvd player. I have installed k3b. I don't know how to get it to work.

Ive started a 'video dvd' project. But when I add the file its adding it as a file, ie 800mb of the 4.7gb dvd. Its not burning it as an actual dvd.

I have linux mint 17.1. I wish I'd never bothered switching. It doesn't do half the things windows did.

Help!

Dan

Dvd burners in windows do the whole process for you including the encoding. Ive got it working now. Thanks.

But genuinely im struugling to find linux as user friendly as windows was. I switched to it thinking it would improve performance of my old laptop. It has not
 
The biggest problem I have is just installing programs. Without knowing the install code to type into the command line it seems generally impossible. In windows you just download the software and click on the executable.

Using the internet is all fine. Although I can't get java games to work. And I can't figure out how to update flash player either. In windows it could be done just via the browser, but that doesn't seem to work in linux and as above, I don't know the code needed to install it from the command line.
