Hi,

The video project supports all video types that Gstreamer installation supports. So if a file is not supported that probably means that corresponding gstreamer plugin is not installed. Basically if totem is able to play it then brasero should be able to use it as well.

On my system I have all types of gstreamer-plugins (good, bad, ugly, ffpmeg, ...). You must install them all anyway since ffmpeg plugins is needed for MP2/AC3 sound encoding and gstreamer-plugins-ugly for multiplexing MPEG2. In addition to this, brasero also needs vcdimager and dvdauthor to be installed. 

The greyed burn/properties buttons problem is probably due to something among the above that is missing.

I hope this helps =)

cheers,

Philippe
