How to Convert Mpeg to DVD Linux

VOBs work well for DVD creation.

The MPEG movie file format, a creation of the prolific Moving Picture Experts Group, is a common video file type used on both Macs and PCs. The video container format appears most often online for file sharing and distribution. The standard DVD file format is the VOB or DVD Video Object container, which is the required format for burning movies to DVDs. When running the Linux operation system, your best bet for turning MPEGs into VOB files involves the use of a free online movie conversion tool.
