dvdauthor
=========
dvdauthor is a program that will generate a DVD-Video movie from a valid
MPEG-2 stream that should play when you put it in a DVD player.
To start you need MPEG-2 files that contain the necessary DVD-Video VOB
packets. These can be generated with FFmpeg, or by by passing `-f 8` to `mplex`.
How to Use
----------
There are 3 steps to building the DVD directory structure on your HDD.
1. Delete a previously authored dvd
dvddirdel [-o dir]
To guard against mistakes, this will only delete files and subdirectories
that look like part of a DVD-Video structure.
2. Create your titlesets
dvdauthor [-o dir] [audio/video/subpicture options] [chapters]
To create 1 chapter per mpeg, simply do
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] chap1.mpg chap2.mpg chap3.mpg...
To manually specify chapters, use the '--chapters' option
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] -c chap1a.mpg chap1b.mpg -c chap2a.mpg chap2b.mpg ....
To add chapters every fifteen minutes, do
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] -c 0,15:00,30:00,45:00,1:00:00,1:15:00... longvideo.mpg
Call dvdauthor for each titleset you want to create. Note that
due to the DVD-Video standard, all audio, video, and subpicture options
must be set once for the entire titleset; i.e. you cannot mix PAL
and NTSC video in the same titleset. For that you must generate
separate titlesets.
Run dvdauthor -h to see the audio, video, and subpicture options.
Note that dvdauthor can autodetect most parameters except the
language.
3. Create the table of contents
dvdauthor -T [-o dir]
Voila! You now have a DVD-Video directory structure that will probably
work! You can now write this out to your DVD, mini-DVD (CD), or just
play it from your HDD. To generate the UDF image to burn to DVD, use
`mkisofs` and pass it the `-dvd-video` option.
