About to take the plunge, one last nit

[Steve Lamb]

Well in a mass of recent Linux installs to get City of Heroes working under Cedega I ended up pooching my Win2k install. The data is still there but it just won't boot in spite of all my recovery attempts. Of course I was working on CoH under Cedega so I could consider dropping Win2k from the machine. In the end swapping out my newer ATI card for my older nVidia card did the trick so I now can move that much closer to a Linux full time desktop.

I'm currently looking at a 50Gb/10Gb split Win2k/Linux. I'd like to make that all Linux as I couldn't think of anything that I still used Windows for aside from gaming. If there was anything I have Codeweavers' Crossoffice to try to take care of it. Then my wife asked the one question that threw it all into doubt, "What about those videos you burn"?

Er.... Ok. Under Ubuntu earlier today I was burning data ISOs with ease (1 Debian, 2 Progeny Debian) but I had never looked into burning videos. Anyone know of something simple like Nero which takes in videos, decodes 'em and spits em onto a CD? Right now I'm not seeing a lot of neat prospects. :(
Does anyone know of any?

On the other hand I did fiddle around with LVMs today so what I'm thinking of doing is flipping the above split to be 10Gb Windows/50Gb Linux. Just enough Windows to fall back on in case something pressing crops up. If I go a few months without it I can always nuke the parition and suck it into another one using LVM. :D
