Hi,
I have downloaded a .flv file, edited it with avidemux,
transcoded and written a dvd file system with tovid and written the
..iso file with mkisofs dvd-video. All that works ok. The problem is
that tovid writes a 20 second preview image. Vlc plays that image and
stops but I can get it to go on by clicking the 'next' button. Other
video play softwares aren't that smart and my dvd player isn't either.
I would appreciate advice on how to get this edited video
onto a dvd in such a way that I can play in on a tv.
Thanks, jwc

Are you using command line? I don't use Tovid, but plan to. It must
be trying to set up a menu for one file. I think it has a "menu"
command line option.
