DVD authouring

[Vertuas]

Hi All

I am trying to create DVD files from AVI. I need to create the VOBs, BUPs and IFOs.

I can create the VOB files with ffmpeg, but it doesn't create the other files, ready to burn.

Is there a program, preferable console/dos applicaton like ffmpeg, that can produce the other file for me?

I am running MS Windows not Linux.

Thanks

Just out of curiosity, why do you prefer a console/dos app? I'm not doggin' you either. I just find it interesting.

Use IfoEdit to create your Ifo's and Bup's......

HI Darryl,

The software is to be run as part of an automated system.

As such there will be no-one around to press buttons on a user interface. I could use something like divxtodvd but i don't like to see the windows interface poping up all the time. I also need some kind of error report back incase the authouring process fails.

Thanks

Can i get a compiled version of DVD author anywhere?

Thanks

If you download DVDAuthorGUI, you can grab the 'bin' directory from its install, and use that. It also has a few other binaries that might come in handy (such as mplex for multiplexing, mkisofs to create a dvd image file, gm for manipulating images, and mpeg2enc/jpeg2yuv for creating a valid m2v from an image.

You can also use DVDAuthorGUI to experiment with dvdauthor. The GUI creates a batch file, which you could easily look over, and see how to use dvdauthor and the accompaning tools.
