Problems with Brasero and burning DVD's

[Chris Sislo]

I posted in the past and got little help this time I know more and I'm 
hoping someone can help me, anyways I thought I installed the necessary 
packages and I tried reinstalling and that did no good either, I want to 
burn a video file and when I try Brasero  it says converting mpeg files 
to mpeg 2 so am I to get this right first I must convert either .avi, or 
mpeg4 files. My system is a Acer Aspire X1920 and all I need is DVD 
files burnt I have other things to check out that might help but I have 
installed all the good,bad,ugly and nice plugins from synaptic package 
manager and still got nowhere.
