yes.. use a program called K3B it is far superior in my mind.. when you open in the middle bottom it will have a selection of actions.. under more actions is the video DVD project that should wet you up fine :)

Ok, sorry to resurrect such an old bug, but I'm still seeing this issue
in Brasero, as of today (9-13-14) on an install of Ubuntu 14.04. Is
there anything I can do to help track this down? This has been
frustrating me for the past 4 hours as to why I can't burn a video file
onto a DVD so my parents can watch it on their TV...

I've tried every suggestion in this thread, and there was no change in
the behavior of the program, though everything that was suggested to
install was already in the system. I tried deinstallign and reinstalling
jsut to be sure, but no dice.

Title:
  [SRU] gst-plugins-bad0.10 needs rebuilding with mjpegtools to enable
  burning video with Brasero

Status in A disc burning application for gnome 2:
  Invalid
Status in “brasero” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “gst-plugins-bad-multiverse0.10” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “brasero” source package in Jaunty:
  Invalid
Status in “gst-plugins-bad-multiverse0.10” source package in Jaunty:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I'm using Brasero 0.8.2 on Intrepid. Now brasero seems to have video
  DVD support, but if I try to burn a video file, in the burn dialogue
  the burn button is greyed out without a clue of how to fix the
  problem. That's very disorienting.

  SRU JUSTIFICATION:

  With brasero being the default burning application in Jaunty, many
  users will want to burn Video-CDs/DVDs. The problem is that gst-
  plugins-bad miss some ffmpeg-encoders due to not being built with
  mjpegtools support. From the buildlog:

  configure: *** Plug-ins with dependencies that will NOT be built:
      mpeg2enc
      mplex

  This results in brasero not being able to burn Video.

  The issue can be fixed by adding libmjpegtools-dev (>= 1.9.0) to the
  build-depends.

  SRU TEST CASE:

  Make sure you got all the necessary plugins installed:

  gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, gstreamer0.10
  -plugins-bad-multiverse, libavcodec-unstripped-52 and vcdimager

  Open brasero with "brasero -g > log.txt 2>&1"

  Check in log.txt that the libbrasero-vob.so plugin fails to load.

  Now install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse from ppa
  (https://edge.launchpad.net/~amoog/+archive/ppa/)

  Reopen brasero again, you'll now notice that libbrasero-vob.so plugin
  will load. Consequently, Video burning now works as expected.

  NOTE: due to bug 351017 you will encounter a SIGILL if you convert
  video to mpeg2 and are running a non-pentium4 architecture. A fix for
  that has already been accepted in jaunty-proposed.

  SRU REGRESSION POTENTIAL:

  Low to non-existent since there is no code change and only 2 plugins
  more are built and installed.
