Hello. I use Debian Sarge. Is there a Debian package of a program
that converts movie file codecs? I have used a program called Tovid
to covert an avi to an mpg, and then used Dvdstyler to burn it to a
playable dvd. Is there an equivalent to Tovid that is part of the
Debian packages?

Sounds like mencoder may be what you need. Not part of Debian
"proper" but available in Christian Marillat's multimedia repository
(see http://debian.video.free.fr/).
For details of mencoder, see the Mplayer site at http://www.mplayerhq.hu
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not apt enough to use mencoder,
however. So, I bit the bullet, and installed tovid, with the
accompanying gui (mencoder is a part of tovid, apparently.) It took a
while to get the dependencies correct, but at least now I have
something that both works, and is comprehensible to me.
That's good. But if you manage to find some time, do take some to learn
mencoder. Its a great program, and not so hard. You can save the command
lines that worked for you in a text file then paste'em into the cli. And
there's a lot of examples over the internet.
Look at streamer, also. Its another utility that may prove useful.
