Journal marcello_dl's Journal: quick dvd authoring

the mpeg must be in format suitable for dvd, see mencoder docs for example.

dvdauthor -o dvd/ -t movie.mpg (separately for each track) then use -T for TOC

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<dvdauthor dest="dvd/">
                <vmgm>
                                <menus>
                                                <video />
                                                <audio />
                                                <subpicture lang="it" />
                                </menus>
                </vmgm>
  <titleset>
    <titles>
      <pgc pause="0">
        <vob file="file.mpeg"
chapters="0,1:52,5:59,11:10,16:36" />
      </pgc>
    </titles>
  </titleset>
</dvdauthor>

if the directory containing the files is "dvd"
dvdauthor -o dvd -x example.xml

mkisofs -dvd-video -o dvd.iso dvd

growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=dvd.iso

(Trying to master the .iso with nero on windows involves renaming to .nrg and using a 2048 byte block - the default)

Another reported command:
dvdauthor...
(then in the directory with dvd folders)
growisofs -dvd-video -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd -V "DVD Title" ./

variation
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<dvdauthor dest="DVD/">
        <vmgm>
                <menus>
                        <video />
                        <audio />
                        <subpicture lang="en" />
                </menus>
        </vmgm>
        <titleset>
                <titles>
                        <pgc pause="0">
                                <vob file="joined.mpg" chapters="0,0:20" pause="0" />
                        </pgc>
                </titles>
        </titleset>
</dvdauthor>
