You need to convert them to MPEG2, then create special table-of-
content files, and put them all in a defined directory structure.
mplayer and transcode (which comes in the mplayer package, I think)
can do the conversion. Don't remember, though, what package will
do the rest.
kino (which is a non-linear video editor) *might* be able to do
it, as onw of it's side functions.
