To make fully fledged dvd's I came to use qdvdauthor after some amount of research. It's somewhat clunky (Mostly wrt to what it puts where and why, tmp dirs, importing stuff etc.) but it actually does everything related to dvd-authoring (Menu navigation, background images/videos/sound etc.). In the end it gives you a VIDEO_TS that you can write to a silver platter. Please don't hesitate to ask if the unlikely need for some hand-holding through the process should come up. > The files are currently in AVI format, with 800x600 video and 48 > kHz audio resolutions. I tried the directions (NTSC + AC3) for > mencoder here: If you can produce dvd conformant scaling and framerate in AVS with good quality then that would be preferrable to any later adjustments. You can use "ffmpeg -i video.file -target ntsc-dvd video.mpg" to up/downscale and "adjust" framerate. This invovlves fairly good quality size scaling and simply dropping/duplicating frames wrt framerate. (To actually interpolate frames you could try yuvmotionfps. I've used it with very acceptable results to convert 30fps material from a canon a710. Whereas the ffmpeg dropframe conversion makes high-motion pans look unbearable the yuvmotionfps interpolation looks very ok on a tv set. http://jcornet.free.fr/linux/yuvmotionfps.html) Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
