Creating A Dvd
This is a shortcut of what I need to do in order to create my dvds. For a superb full explanation on creating dvd’s see this resource;
Note: FILENAME - is the name of the dvd you are creating
Step 1 - Transcode
Transocde AVI file into dvd friendly format. $ transcode -i FILENAME.avi -y ffmpeg –export_prof dvd-ntsc –export_asr 3 -o FILENAME -D0 -b224 -N 0x2000 -s2 -m FILENAME.ac3 -J modfps=clonetype=3 –export_fps 29.97
The above script is for a 16:9 aspect ratio, if you need that to be 4:3 aspect ratio then change the following –export_asr 3 => –export_asr 2
This results in 2 files, once for the video and the other for the sound
Step 2 - Combine
Need to combine the video and sound file together $ mplex -f 8 -o FILENAME_dvd.mpg FILENAME.m2v FILENAME.ac3
Step 3 - Menu
Create an xml file (this is one without a menu) <dvdauthor dest=‘DVD’> <vmgm /> <titleset> <titles> <video widescreen=‘nopanscan’ /> <pgc> <vob file=‘FILENAME_dvd.mpg’ chapters=‘0,0:30,1:00,1:30,2:30,3:00,3:30,4:00’/> </pgc> </titles> </titleset> </dvdauthor>
Step 4 - Author
This run the xml file through dvdauthor $ dvdauthor -x dvdauthor.xml
Step 5 - Burn
Create DVD image that will be used to burn DVD $ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video DVD/
That is is. Except that I should create some scripts for all this and maybe package it into a simple program
