*.m2v / *.ac3 Multiplex the Video + Audio + Author DVD Automation

[luckybee]

Hi guys, i am new to all of this and i have the following problem; I got a lot of *.m2v video files and matching *.ac3 files with the audio - i need to multiples the video and Audio and then Author a simple DVD; I have been looking at a lot of encoders and tools but i am not sure which is best to use. Also i need to be able to automate this process, i.e. using command line batch files or something. Anyone any ideas, please assist, thanks

muxman or dvdauthorgui

dvdauthor for a command line tool

thanks for your fast response, i am going to look into it standby

Forgot to mention this is on a Windows Platform, i am afraid dvdauthor is only for linux ???

dvdauthor has been compiled to a win32 binary. If you download dvdauthorgui, you can use it a few times to understand how dvdauthor works, then use the binaries for your own automated process.

DVDAuthorGUI creates a temporary batch file, which you can use to understand the process.

Thanks, its working great - i am now left with the DVD Directories VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS and all the BUP and VOB file created by dvdauthor - awesome but i am wondering how do i make an burnable ISO of this? Any suggestions? thanks

use mkisofs. Again, the binary can be found packaged with DVDAuthorGUI.
The command line should be

mkisofs.exe -dvd-video -V "TitleofDVD" -udf -o C:\test.iso C:\dvdfolder
