Hi all,
I'm running debian testing, and trying to make a dvd-video image to burn.
I have the .VOB files and I have made a dvd structure using vobcopy. I'm looking
for a debian tool that makes the .IFO files from those .VOBs. I'd tried with
dvdauthor without success. Is there such a tool?
I don't use dvdbackup because I want to edit the original dvd and make a new one
with only a few .VOBs.
hi there,
you're not gonna like this answer but... dvdauthor is the tool for the
job.
i have been using dvdauthor to create my dvd structure and it does create
the needed .IFO (and .BUP) files.
have you read through the dvdauthor man page?
there are two ways of passing commands to dvdauthor, via the command line
or through an xml config file.
maybe you should forgo the vobcopy and just stick with dvdauthor.
also keep in mind that the VOBs passed to dvdauthor must have DVD NAV
(VOBU) packets multiplexed in at the correct locations. there are many
tools that can do this, including mplex from mjpegtools (1.6.0 or later).
here's a little snippet from my latest dvdauthor project; perhaps this
will shed some light:

if you're looking to just make a copy of a dvd, try using DVrequant which
can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/dvrequant/
i hope this is helpful for you.
best of luck
