I want to make a 4.7 gigabyte DVD of these 26 MKV files (the SD (360p?) version of the first season) totaling 3.9 gigabytes. How can I do that with free, open-source software? Is there a straight forward way of adding some videos from Youtube?

@fnordly ffmpeg is your friend.

@fnordly also, for downloading from YouTube, I use ClipGrab.

@starshine I can probably figure out how to make an ISO to burn to CDs and DVDs of the files. Will FFMPEG help me make DVDs that work in regular DVD players?

@fnordly I think ffmpeg has a switch for outputting to DVD-compatible MPEG, and from there you can probably toss the output files at some DVD burning program and get a working disc. I haven't actually done it but I'm sure it'll work. I have yet to come across a video format it can't deal with.

Thank you, @starshine. Wow. I was just thinking of the MUSH at @scribus's place. See. I grew up in the MUD at the realmsofdespair.com and find @evilscribus's MUSH to be to MUD like Linux is to Windows, like TCL.tk is to Python and Perl and Ruby. #justsayin

@starshine You linux people and your over-complication... I dunno about open-source, but there are certainly free methods to do just this via a lunatically simple drag-and-drop interface...
