I had an idea about 4 months ago, but I haven't had time to do anything 
about it. One of my friends got a digital video camera, she uses Ubuntu 
Linux, and she's been having trouble getting the video on to a DVD. 
There are solutions (avidemux and command-line) but if you're doing it 
regularly it's tedious, and it's hardly intuitive.

I think it would be useful to have a "Burn these Videos to a DVD" 
program. No fancy options or effects - just do it. Of course there would 
have to be a few options (set on first run, and use these thereafter). 
It would be fairly similar to the Wizard mode of iMovie, and would do 
any transcoding without bothering the user about codec options.

I'm not great with codecs, they sometimes confuse me, so I'm not sure 
just how difficult the above is. I do think it would be useful to the 
Linux desktop.
