    Additionally, if you use DEVEDE it will natively accept the flv files when you make menus with it. Simply add the files and name the menu title. It also has a gui which is easily used.

    It didn’t work for me. I got these error messages:
    desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install flv2dvd
    Reading package lists… Done

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.

    Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
    the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
    that package should be filed.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    flv2dvd: Depends: lame-extras but it is not installable
    E: Broken packages

    Had the same problem. To get lame-extras download it from here:
    http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/l/lame/

    and then just do a dpkg -i

    Please update this article for Ubuntu 10.04.

    I knew that adding deb http://ubuntu.global-web.us/hardy binary/ was wrong for lucid, so I tried:
    deb http://ubuntu.global-web.us/lucid binary/

    and then tried do a apt-get update. The update failed. I’m not sure how to resolved this.
