Documentation

This site only contains the manual pages for videotrans at the moment, so
that potential users can find out whether the package would suit their needs.
The list of manual pages:

videotrans: An introductory manual page that explains which components the system is
made up of and how they are related.
movie-to-dvd: movie-to-dvd is the program that converts any movie in a format that
mplayer is able to play into DVD compatible
video and audio streams. It will optionally combine the two streams together
into a DVD compatible VOB file, but movie-title
will also do this for you automatically if you create a complete DVD with a
menu.
movie-title: movie-title is a program that creates a nice DVD menu from which a
DVD’s viewer can choose which movie to watch. It works by taking a title
sequence, which is created with movie-make-title, and all the movies that you
want to put onto the DVD. It will combine these to create a menu with the title
sequence in the background (and the audio of the title sequence will be audible
while the viewer is choosing) and picture-in-picture previews of all the movies.
Furthermore, it is possible to supply extra information about the movies, which
a viewer can choose to look at as well.
movie-make-title: movie-make-title is a program that takes one movie, cuts out a part
of it and uses that as a so-called “title sequence”. Such a title sequence can
be used as the background of a navigational menu that you can create with movie-title.
movie-make-title-simple: movie-make-title-simple is a program that takes a combination of a
background color, optionally an image and optionally an audio track and converts
these into a title sequence that can be used with movie-title.
movie-rip-tv.com: movie-rip-tv.com is a program that can rip information about TV
episodes from tv.com and save that information is a
format suitable for the movie-title program.
The viewer of the DVD will be able to view the extra information by choosing the
little “information” icon that will be available with the episode in the DVD’s
menu.
movie-rip-epg.data: movie-rip-epg.data is a program that can rip information about TV
episodes from a VDR epg.data file. The viewer of the DVD will be
able to view the extra information by choosing the little “information” icon
that will be available with the episode in the DVD’s menu.
movie-compare-dvd: movie-compare-dvd is a small script that can be used to verify that
the image of a DVD was correctly burned onto a real DVD by comparing all the
files on harddisk with the files on the DVD.
