makedvd: Create and burn a DVD image from either XML input or a directory.
11
makedvd takes a dvdauthor XML file (as generated by **makexml**(1))
12
and authors a DVD filesytem. makedvd can also burn a DVD disc from either
13
the XML file or from an existing DVD filesystem.
15
To ensure that this script successfully executes, please run it from a directory
16
with plenty of free space. "Plenty" would be 10 GB for single-layer discs, and
17
20 GB for dual-layer discs. Running this program may slow down your other
18
applications, due to intense disk activity.
23
**makedvd** [//OPTIONS//] //FILE.xml//
25
**makedvd** [//OPTIONS//] //DVD_DIR//
29
: ``makedvd -burn MyDisc.xml``
30
: ``makedvd -burn /path/to/DVD/directory``
36
Author the DVD described by //FILE.xml//. Overwrites an existing
37
directory containing the dvdauthor output if already present.
40
Burn a DVD filesystem in //DVD_DIR// (must contain a VIDEO_TS folder).
42
: **-device** //DEVICE// (default /dev/dvdrw)
43
Burn the disc image to //DEVICE//, the Linux device filesystem
44
name of your DVD-recorder. Common examples might be /dev/dvdrw,
45
/dev/scd1, and /dev/hdc. You can also use a bus/id/lun triple
48
: **-speed** //NUM// (default 1)
49
Burn disc at speed //NUM//.
51
: **-label** //DISC_LABEL//
52
Uses //DISC_LABEL// as the volume ID. This appears as the mount
53
name of the disc on some computer platforms. Must be <=32
54
alphanumeric digits without spaces.
57
Limit output to essential messages.
60
Don't ask interactive questions and assume answers that will continue
66
: ``makedvd -burn -device /dev/dvdrw foo.xml``
67
Author the dvd filesystem and burn to /dev/dvdrw. makedvd will
68
automatically call dvdauthor to make the filesystem. **-author**
69
is not explicitly needed. If there's an existing filesystem, it
72
: ``makedvd -author foo.xml``
73
Author the dvd filesystem and exit without burning. If the output
74
directory given in foo.xml already exists, then the contents are
75
removed before authoring. At this point, the DVD can be previewed
76
by calling //**xine** dvd:/path/to/output/directory//.
