Cannot get todisc to burn a dvd from mpg files

Asked by The Doctor

Hi. I am trying to burn a DVD using ToDisc. I have used ToVid to get my files into .mpg format, & then used ToDisc, but keep getting an error. Here is what I get when I ran ToDisc. Any thoughts???

thedoctor@thedoctor-laptop:~$ todisc -files doctor.who.s0403.mpg doctor.who.s0404.mpg doctor.who.s0405.mpg \ -titles "Planet of the Ood" "The Sontaran Stratagem" "The Poison Sky" \ -out Doctor Who_Season 1_Disc 2
grep: /usr/bin/tovid-init: No such file or directory
--------------------------------
todisc
Generate a DVD filesystem with animated thumbnail menus
Part of the tovid suite, version 0.31
http://www.tovid.org
--------------------------------
`/tmp/todisc-work.0' -> `/home/thedoctor/todisc-work.0'
Usage:
todisc [OPTIONS] \
-files File1.mpg File2.mpg ... \
-titles "Title 1" "Title 2" ... \
-out OUT_PREFIX
Input files must be MPEG, and the number of -files and -titles must be equal.
See the todisc manual page ('man todisc') for additional documentation.

Please provide at least one file and one title.

What happens if you specify an output directory without spaces :
-out Doctor_Who_Season 1_Disc_2

It looks as though somethings been moved or deleted. Are you using the Ubuntu version of tovid or did you install from the tovid website?

Try a re-install :

sudo apt-get install --reinstall tovid

Can you help with this problem?
