perl2dvd started off as a simple, single task, component to a DVD burning plug-in I was developing for SageTV, but has since evolved into an incredibly open-ended CLI based encoding tool that, in addition to its other abilities, still makes great video DVD's.
Notes:
- I wrote the tool in perl, hense the name, but it is packed into self-contained .exe's for ease of use
- There is no GUI, but supports drag and drop usage via batch generated batch files
- All of the encoding for video DVD's is done by mencoder and as such has the same format compatability
- Try and keep the total video duration to under 2 hours for best results.
- I have basic avisynth support in the core but I haven't actually implimented anything that uses it
- All of the images for the DVD menus were created by the talented gfx designers at MediaPortal
- People in PAL countries need to edit videoDVD_DragNdrop.bat and add "/pal" to the switches line.
set SWITCHES=/pal
- Hopefully sometime soon the menu generation code will be available as a standalone tool for other people to use.
- perl2dvd can much more than create video DVD's, check the included readMe for info.
- This is my first release so go easy on me :)
Usage:
- Download and extract perl2dvd (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=181485&package_id=246238)to its own directory.
- Run profile2bat.exe to generate a set of batch files that can be used for drag and drop encoding into various formats including video DVD.
- Drag and drop up to 7 videos onto videoDVD_DragNdrop.bat
- Wait for the .img file to be created and then burn using your application of choice (I recommend imgBurn)
