[Novalug] Video converter

[Jason van Gumster]

My apologies. I'd forgotten that some people prefer to use a GUI for this kind
of thing. For that, I'd recommend using avidemux (http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/).
Even still, to get a VOB (and other requisite DVD files) from the MPEG that's
generated, you'll need dvdauthor and/or qdvdauthor.
