Topic: DVD Video: ISO Creation and Burning

A couple of simple command lines to help anyone having trouble with this, guides in the wild are old and varied!

Make an ISO: genisoimage -dvd-video -o dvd.iso  /pathto/AUDIO_AND_VIDEO_TS
Burn the ISO: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/scd0=dvd.iso

Re: DVD Video: ISO Creation and Burning

There's just something about using CLI utilities to produce a DVD, especially if it's a video disc, that strikes me as odd.  But it almost feels naughty, so it's so tempting!

Re: DVD Video: ISO Creation and Burning

I also like dvd-author, mjpegtools and mencoder for creating videos.  Mplex (example: mplex -f 8 -S 0 -O -66ms -o filename.mpg filename.m1v filename.ac3) can put demuxed video files back together.  mpgtx can demux them.  There's also mkisofs (similar to growisofs).  There are some great resources at videohelp.com including a Linux section in their forums http://forum.videohelp.com/forums/23-Linux
