Some people use those for burning vacation films on DVD instead of burning a ripped movie ;)
worker201:
Maybe I'm a bittorrent user, and maybe I'm not! ;)
I've never used any kind of graphical application to burn dvds or cds. For cds (and data dvds, when I make those), you just drag the files into a folder, and click the burn button (I guess Nautilus is my cd burning 'application' of choice). But for video home device compliant dvds, I use growisofs.

Well, I burn the odd audio CD which currently isn't possible in nautilus afaik.
Even for data CDs/DVDs, I've had some crappy experiences with nautilus so I just use k3b which has never failed me. Plus it has more advanced options, including the verification check I only use for backups.
For burning ISOs I downloaded, I often just use cdrecord from the command line, since I'd be just after wgeting the ISO anyhow (usually).
pofnlice:
what transcoders do you use to make it dvd player compatible?
worker201:
Me? I follow this tutorial right here. Use transcode to get the file into separate audio and video files, usually in mp2 and ac3 formats. Then you slap em back together again. Make yourself some menus using the gimp and throw those together. dvdauthor, using an XML config file, turns the movie and menus into video object files (VOBs) that constitute the dvd filesystem, which you can then burn to disc.
transcode:

dvdauthor:

ffmpeg:

mjpeg tools:
http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/
(note that if you want to use this tutorial, you might have to install a lot of stuff from source. Back when I first tried it a couple years ago, the transcode packages at Freshrpms were linked to an older version of libpng, which broke the damn thing. Proceed with caution)
