The dvd authoring tool /should/ not care what data you give it. I like `dvdauthor` but takes some learning writing its XML format; the `devede` GUI can create them for you. ffmpeg can encode ac3/dts - well, check `ffmpeg -formats` and `ffmpeg -codecs` on your box. ffmpeg versions differ greatly. > ac3 won't really suffice in terms of sound quality. You do realize that you can also just use raw PCM for audio on DVDs: 48 kHz or 96 kHz, 16 or 24 bit, 2-6 channels; but only up to 6144 kbit/s > better yet, i'd like to use five uncompressed pcm streams, and the > wikipedia article on dvd-video seems to indicate it's possible oh, you did realize :) > - has anyone done it stereo PCM: yes. 5chan: no > and will consumer dvd players handle it? I use 'ogle' http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/ to test DVD iso images. It does not use any big frameworks like ffmpeg or gstreamer for the decoding and besides supporting DVD-menus it usually only plays what will also play on a hardware DVD player. robin > > best, > > jÃrn > -- Robin Gareus web: http://gareus.org/ mail: robin@xxxxxxxxxx lab: http://citu.fr/ chat: xmpp:rgareus@xxxxx Public Key at http://pgp.mit.edu/ http://gareus.org/public.asc Fingerprint : 7107 840B 4DC9 C948 076D 6359 7955 24F1 4F95 2B42 _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
