The latter can probably be done using caca/aalib :)<br>

I'm curious why you'd want to produce a "plain-old" DVD as your 'lowest common denominator solution' in 2015.<br>

Probably because I'm an AV noob trying to make something that will 'just work' for anyone.<span class=""><br>

Pretty much every media player used on the planet these days will play h.264 mpeg4 encoded video files burnt to a DVD,<br>

I've tried a few other formats, I'll give "h.264 mpeg4" a go before resorting to DVD.<span class=""><br>

and having tried to produce a 'plain old' DVD of content back in 2004 you're talking dozens and dozens of DVD's with the content produced at an LCA.<br>

Burning the whole conf would be a bit much.... I'm just after a few talks.<br>

The WebM files uploaded to the mirror are of archival quality; re-encoding it should still result in good looking video. You should be able to script up something that uses ffmpeg to transcode to mpeg4 (use h264 for video, mp3 or aac for audio). Burn those files to a DVD (will still require multiple DVD's).<br>

How can I turn the conf videos into a plain-old DVD?<br>
<br>
I've given up on finding a video format supported by all the TV's, PVRs etc. and I'm aiming for the lowest-common-denominator solution.<br>
<br>
Failing that, does anyone know how to re-render to something more portable like:<br>
