4.35 GB ?

Let is chug along. Have Pongal till it finishes.

# mount -o loop ~/myfirstdvd.iso /mnt

Don't worry. If you got so far it would work unless your stars are not
favorable at this time of the year.
7) Next thing is to cook the vadai. Burn the DVD with growisofs
(Before that please insert a DVD-R medium into your burner)
# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/home/girish/myfirstdvd.iso
Apparently growisofs does not do file globbing for ~. Ouch
You can bypass creation of the ISO and use this:
growisofs -dvd-video -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-compat <dir>

HOW TO CREATE A VIDEO DVD
--------------------------
1) First thing is to convert the videos into the PAL DVD format. Do it
with mencoder.
$ mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf \
-vf scale=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 \
-lavcopts
keyint=15:vstrict=0:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=16/9 -ofps 25 \
-o movie.mpg movie.avi
(This will take a while if your video is big)
2) After doing it with each of the videos you want to include in the DVD
check their total size. It should not exceed 4.35 MB of course.
3) Once you have the videos in mpg format with the PAL DVD profile, next
thing is to author the DVD file structure. This is trivial with the
program dvdauthor, another command line tool.
$ mkdir dvdvideo
$ dvdauthor -o dvdvideo -x dvd.xml
$ cat dvd.xml
<dvdauthor>
<vmgm />
<titleset>
<titles>
<pgc>
<vob file="video1.mpg" chapters="0,05:00,10:00"/>
<vob file="video2.mpg" chapters="0,05:00,10:00"/>
</pgc>
</titles>
</titleset>
</dvdauthor>
If dvdauthor does not complain then you are a blessed soul. :)
The chapters and vob syntax are very easy to follow. You can easily have
the chapters param as chapters="0,05:00,10:00,15 [...] ,60:00"
(Please don't take the above line literally. You need to add every 5 min
interval with a comma in between.)
As you can see you are creating skip regions. I prefer to skip at 5
min intervals. Your creativity should tell you what you want. (And your
common sense should guide you)
As to adding more videos, of course you can just copy the lines and just
replace the file parameter. There is no harm in having the same chapters
param in each line. If the video is shorter no harm is done.
4) Now test the stuff you just created with xine or mplayer.
$ xine dvd:/home/girish/dvdvideo
or
$ mplayer -dvd-device /home/girish/dvdvideo dvd://
It plays? Cool.
5) Next job is to create an ISO. I prefer to do it this way instead of
burning the files directly with growisofs.
$ mkisofs -R -J -dvd-video -o ~/myfirstdvd.iso /home/girish/dvdvideo
Let is chug along. Have Pongal till it finishes.
6) It is a good idea to try loopback mounting it in case you find 20
rupees too expensive...
# mount -o loop ~/myfirstdvd.iso /mnt
$ mplayer -dvd-device /mnt dvd://
Don't worry. If you got so far it would work unless your stars are not
favorable at this time of the year.
7) Next thing is to cook the vadai. Burn the DVD with growisofs
(Before that please insert a DVD-R medium into your burner)
# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/home/girish/myfirstdvd.iso
Nice guide, BTW. :)
Do you have any idea on how to convert a DVD9 to a DVD5 disc ?
All my efforts to do this from the commandline have been failures so far
and I keep going back to k9copy. But running a QT application in my
minimalist fluxbox desktop is an eyesore. :)

There was a discussion about helping students with projects in the Dec
month lug meet. I am discussing with Bharathi, Raman and others how to
take it forward.
It will take us a while but once we are done, there will be a website
created
where people can participate on open source projects. There will be a
visit http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/wiki/ProjectIdeas
prior to that please go thru:
http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/wiki/ProjectGuidelines
I hope LUG members do remember that these sites also provide some options.
