script to make dvd from mpegs + snaphots + titles

[Marko Loparic]

Hi,

Does someone has a script that produces a dvd taking as input a list
of mpegs with a snapshot and a title associated to each file? The
script creates a dvd anvigation menu using the titles and the
snapshots.

Any2dvd is very close to this but it has the limit of 6 mpegs (one
menu page). I need to do dvds with many more mpegs.

I would like to do a lot of dvds from 10 years of family recording and
I am looking for the easiest way to do it. I don't care about the menu
style, so I did not want to do the graphics myself.

Thanks a lot,
Marko

Take a look at tovid (you'd want todisc, which is part of the package).  You

can see an example at http://www.youtube.com/user/grepero

Thanks a lot Anne, todisc is does exactly what I needed! You have the
option to put the beginning of the video in reduced size in the menu,
a very nice alternative to using snapshots (the problem of using a
snapshot is that you can't automate the process of selecting a good
frame in a video, if you choose the first frame you risk getting a
black picture...).

It took me some time to install it work in my debian system. I had
several dependency problems, which I couldn't solve neither by using
debian packages nor by installing the scripts in /usr/local with
./configure. The solution came with adding the line

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main

to my /etc/apt/sources.list. Great resource for debian users!

Thanks also to mike and savi for their suggestions!
