good DVD Authoring and DVD Burner SDK

[jain30]

Hi all,

i am new to DVD Burning. I want to customize and integrate a DVD Burner with my application but i don't know which one i can use. My requirement is I want to create a Video DVD of a WMV File with these features –


a. Background (Choose a background image (skins) or add a custom background. Default should be the same background chosen for the video)
b. Layout (Vertical Left, Centered, etc…)
c. Menu Title (Edit title and change font size, style and color)
d. Chapter Title (Edit chapter title and change font size, style and color)
e. Video Thumbnail (Default is first photo in video. Need ability to change thumbnail)
f. DVD Writer (select DVD burner)
g. Disc Speed (1x, 2x, 4x, 6x, MAX)
h. Disc Format (NTSC, PAL)
i. Video Quality (Normal, High Quality)
j. Copies (Select number of copies)

IS THERE ANY SDK WHICH PROVIDE ALL THE FEATURE.
OR I HAVE TO USE DIFFERENT SDK OR OPEN SOURCE FOR DVD AUTHORING AND BURNING PROCESS.

THANKS

1) No.
2) Yes.
There are at least 4 very different processes here:

• 0 Graphics SDK to create backgrounds, sub pictures, thumbnails...
• 1 Encode wmv video to m2v, + encode wmv audio to mp2 or ac3 - Not sure what to use here - maybe ffmpeg? Use mplex to multiplex audio + video as mpg
• 2 Authoring - DVDAuthor would be the obvious choice here.
• 3 Burn to disk - I've used DVDDecrypter for this task, as there's no real Open Source Video DVD writing SDK
