Then you don't have the right version of mkisofs. That -dvd-video switch is fairly new, and it is required for DVD creation. You'll get an image without it, but your standalone DVD player will not play the resulting disc (or at least, mine didn't). My copy of mkisofs says it's v 2.0. > But both dvdrecord and > cdrecord-ProDVD think my DVD writer is a CD burner only, so I can't burn > a DVD. I couldn't get dvdrecord to do anything useful (unless you consider cratering DVD's useful). Cdrecord-prodvd, on the other hand, works like a charm. Are you setting the key for it or using the wrapper script? Without that, it won't burn DVDs no matter what burner you have. If your drive is a DVD+R (as opposed to DVD-R) drive, then you'll want to follow the advice Bernhard gave and check the howto. There's a tool called "growisofs" that you use to do the burning. I have one of the Sony combo drives that can do either format, and those are the two tools I use -- growisofs for DVD+R and cdrecord-prodvd for DVD-R. And BTW, I do all of it under Linux. Canopus ADVC-100 for video capture, kino for editing and special effects, smilutils for conversion to YUV4MPEG format, mjpegtools for encoding, makedvd for layout creation, and then growisofs or cdrecord-prodvd to burn the DVD. > Here's a dumb question....I'm assuming that the > sequence-end/sequence-begin marks produced by mpeg2enc's -S option are > the same thing as chapter marks. Is that correct? I don't think so. The -S option should be causing mplex to generate multiple files. For exampkle, I use a -S 400 on my DVD's just to break them up a little for faster navigation. That will produce ten or twelve mpeg files. When I feed those to makedvd, each one of them will become a chapter. > Along those lines, I have a question....I e-mailed y'all a patch to Beats me. I'm not an mjpegtools developer, but I've never found them difficult to work with. Ddi you send the patch to the developer mailing list? > It seems to me that most people would want > that sort of control over where chapter marks get inserted. No? Indeed that would be handy. If nothing else, post your patch here and I'll use it. :-) -- Robert Kesterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com - A 128-bit supercerts will allow you to extend the highest allowed 128 bit encryption to all your clients even if they use browsers that are limited to 40 bit encryption.
