- Use mplayer to do the conversion to the mpeg2 that DVDs need: http://nafpiker.blogspot.com/2006/02/converting-quicktime-and-jpg-for-dvd.html - Use dvdstyler to create the DVD menus dvdstyler just uses XML to store its DVD info, so add a couple titles (that's DVD lingo for movie) and link between them with buttons and look at the XML. Then write a simple program that: + Grabs a directory listing of your directories full of movies and creates menus that link to the titles, with the submenus linking back to the root menu. I did this with a directory of JPGs. - Once the DVD structure is right, ask dvdstyler to create a DVD iso. It can preview the DVD before burning in xine. Make sure it all works. - Burn the iso to a dvd using whatever. Test in a regular DVD player. - Once it all works in a regular dvd player, use a command-line burner to burn the images to DVDs en masse. -Roberto -- A .45 beats a royal flush EVERY TIME /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
