[vdr] Re: OT: Creating a "REAL VIDEO-DVD" under linux ?

[Patrick GUENEAU <pgueneau@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi Axel.

The main problem today is to find a good DVD Authoring software.

Even on windows the good ones are few and expensive.

If you want to add some menus, subtitling or multiple audio tracks it is
even harder to find the good software.

I think there is nothing now available on linux.

On idea would be to use wine or VMWare to do authoring on Windows and
just CDRecord (it seems there will be some support soon) to burn on
linux, or to have two computers (Windows + Linux).The idea is that the
Pioneer drive doesn't need to be in the computer which is authoring.You
can keep some files on DVD-ROM in VDR format and still view them.


you can go on www.2-pop.com forum to find some information on Authoring
software (mostly on Mac) ; they often compare different authoring
software even on PC.

I will to find other links i found earlier when this problem was
bothering me.
I am still waiting for a cheaper DVD-R drive !!
