Good evening, I am new and since I don't know which category to ask my question in, I'm going to try here!!
So here is my problem: when I was on Windows and I downloaded (legally of course) movies or series and burned them, I had no issues; they would download in avi format. The video codec was MPEG-4 VIDEO, and my standalone DVD player read all the DVDs I burned without any problems. But now that I am using Ubuntu, when I download a movie it is still in avi format. However, the video codec is DivX MPEG-4 Version 3, and when I burn it, my DVD player does not recognize any files. I have tried several software programs to convert it, but I can't seem to find MPEG-4 Video. If someone could help me, thank you.

    Hello.

    What software do you use for engraving? And how do you go about it? Step by step.

    If you know how to use a terminal window:
    you can use the following command with ffmpeg
    $ffmpeg -i file_name.avi -f mp4 file_name.mp4

    You can also use "memcoder" but there are a few more options to include in your line...

    First of all, welcome!
    So download: format factory or look for an MPEG-4 converter or even try to transform it into mp3 or MP4

    I'm not great at this, but it works for me anyway :)

    I hope I helped you!
