No. This is what I'd do, given a recording with one video stream and one audio stream: $ projectx -out . /video/.../[0-9]*vdr Multiplexing, not for DVD: $ mplex -f 3 001.m2v 001.mp2 -o out.mpg # untested here :-) Writing to DVD: $ mkdir -p iso $ mplex -f 8 001.m2v 001.mp2 -o out.mpg $ dvdauthor -o iso -t out.mpg $ dvdauthor -o iso --toc $ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw -dvd-video iso $ rm -rf iso/* Writing to DVD (alternative method, via a pipe): $ mkdir -p iso $ mkfifo mpeg.pipe $ mplex -f 8 001.m2v 001.mp2 -o mpeg.pipe & $ dvdauthor -o iso -t mpeg.pipe $ dvdauthor -o iso --toc $ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw -dvd-video iso $ rm -rf iso/* -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
