| Quote: | Mkdvd is an easy-to-use front-end for several programs which allows simplifies converting most kinds of movies to a DVD which you can watch in your DVD player or give to your friends. While mkdvd is not a graphical front-end, it automates the entire task of creating a DVD into one simple command. Mkdvd runs on any UNIX platform, as long as the programs below are available.
You need a few external programs to use mkdvd:
mplayer- Mkdvd uses mplayer to decode the movies. Almost any movie that can be displayed with mplayer can be converted to a DVD with mkdvd.
dvdauthor- Dvdauthor does all the work of putting the DVD together once mkdvd has converted the videos and created the menus and subtitles.
mkisofs- Mkisofs creates an ISO image from the file structure created by dvdauthor.
cdrecordprodvd- If you're planning to burn DVD-R(W)s, you probably want to install this program to do it. It is not needed for mini-dvds or DVD+R(W)s
dvd+rw-tools- If you're burning DVD+R(W)s, then this is the program you need. Personally I have burner that handles both DVD+RW and DVD-RW, and I use DVD-Rs and DVD+RWs, but no DVD-RW or DVD+R.
vsplit- If you want to process TiVo streams, you'll need this to split up the stream in it's video and audio components. This will soon be obsolete however as new mplayer versions have support for TiVo streams built in.
mjpegtools- Mjpegtools has a bunch of useful programs, but mkdvd really needs the mpeg2enc programs to encode a DVD-compatible MPEG2 stream.
ffmpeg- ffmpeg is a cool program, mkdvd uses it to convert the audio streams to DVD-compatible AC3.
toolame- If ffmpeg is not available, mkdvd will use toolame to convert the audio to Layer II MPEG audio. Please note that not all NTSC DVD players can play these streams.
pike- Of course you'll also need Pike, as mkdvd is written in Pike. |
