DVD menu solved :)



Few days ago I posted some questions about how to make a dvd menu. I
believe I have solved the problem. The simple answer is qdvdauthor or
dvdstyler for the menus.


Further more I have learned that I am better off using transcode to
make "wide screen avi" watchable into a "4:3" typical old style tv.
This means I don't have to make any vcd.


for example: you type following
transcode -i smallville\ 514.avi -y ffmpeg --export_prof dvd-ntsc
--export_asr 2 -o movie -D0 -s2 -m movie.ac3 -J modfps=clonetype=3
--export_fps 29.97


If you watch dvd/vcd on an old television (4:3) you are better off with

"--export_asr 3" - otherwise stick with --export_asr 2


All you need is :


transcode
mplayer
Mjpegtools
ffmpeg
dvd+rw-tools
Dvdauthor
some hardrive space


I know some people may think it's stupid to waste time on old
television. It was given to me by my grandma, and I like to keep it as
long as possible.


Finally, I would like to thank all my fellow gentoo users for helping
me with this stuff.
