MY first XML file! HVR and michael come see come see!

[timmy_boi]

hey guys i created my verry first xml file, and was wondering if you or anybody else in the fourm can check out the Xml code and tell me wat you think?

the code does this.
it plays with 8 mpeg files in all

one is a Mpeg still
and one is the intro
That leaves six mpegs selectable.

here it is

--------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE videocd (View Source for full doctype...)>
<videocd xmlns="http://www.gnu.org/software/vcdimager/1.0/" class="vcd" version="2.0">
<info>
<album-id>next-illusion Demo VCD Alpha</album-id>
<volume-count>1</volume-count>
<volume-number>1</volume-number>
<restriction>0</restriction>
</info>

<-------------Info about the VCD------------------------------->

<pvd>
<volume-id>VolumeLabel</volume-id>

--------------------------------------------------

I took some of the codeing from the tutorials and some from a Ripped vcd i created from vp4.

i understand the refference and all but the FILE SYSTEM confuses me a bit for that i jus copied the code from my ripped xml to here.

Also i kinda labeled the codeing so i could keep track of wat i was doing. ((dont worry i'll take them out b4 burning))

THats wat i did, Any comments and suggestions are WELCOMED!

thanks for all the help guys

Looking good!

The <endlist> probably isn't necessary. <endlist> allows the VCD to selectably stop PBC interpretation (i.e., stops playing the disc). As you don't have an option pointing to it, I don't believe that it is necessary.

Also, make sure you remove the comments before VCDXBUILD'ing!

As for the filesystem, it's a little bit complicated for me to describe it here, but it is described in my article here: http://www.geocities.com/medinotes/vcd/general_xml_structure.html

Regards.

yea the comments were there too keep my mind from exploding from the codeing. It realy helped me keep track of things.

if you want you can use my code or jus use it as an example on how to make sence of things, since im a newbe at this this stuff would realy help me.
cool cool nows the time to create the vcd

[hvr]

btw, XML allows for comments...

they begin with '', withing comments the use of '--' is forbidden...

e.g.



<!--

some multine comment
...

-->
