fully automatic toolchain: DV -> Authored DVD

[wandmaler]

Hi,
I have around 100 Mini DVs, which I have to transfer to DVD

Now I'm searching an easy way to process the captured DV files to authored DVDs (in fully automatic toolchain).

My dream:
I select a DV file (or more) and enter a title, pressing "Go", waiting some time.... and get at the end a DVD like this:
- a Menu which includes the given title
- a authored DVD with maximum possible Bitrate (for a 4,7GB DVD)
- very high quality video
- NO chapters needed
- DON'T need burning. a VIDEO_TS folder is fine

1. anyone knows a good way to set up a toolchain like this (windows or linux). Or is there maybe already a out-of-the-box solution avialable?
2. ffmpg can be used as command line. Is the ffmpg mpeg2 encoder quality any good? For example comparable with Mainconcept or CCE ?

AvsToDVD will do all that.

2. The HC-Enc you can use is as good as any MPEG-2 encoder out there.

DVavi helper.zip can do that, drop your DV.avi onto makeDVD.BAT and it will create VIDEO_TS,

change defaults in settings.BAT,

read that "read first.txt" file, that VIDEO_TS should be in temp folder if you do not want to burn it, not sure exactly
