Usage:
dvd-menu -t <titleset1> ... -t <titlesetN>
-f <xmlfile1> ... -f <xmlfileN> [-o output_directory]
[-n "menu title"] [-e <embed image>] [-L]
[-b <background jpeg>] [ -a <menu audio file> ] [-p]
[-c] [-D] [-W] [-mp2] [-iso] [-w] [-theme <themefile>] [-nomenu]
Description:
Creates a simple vmgm menu with buttons that
link to the mpeg files in the specified
dvdauthor-compatible xml files.
Options:
-t <titleset1> -t <titleset2> ... -t <titlesetN>
Name of each title. Each string will be used for
the button menu corresponding to each xmlfile.
This sets the order of the menu buttons!
-f <xmlfile1> <xmlfile2> ...
Name of each titleset xml file. You can use
dvd_slideshow to generate one for each slideshow
or you can create your own for a simple mpeg2
file.
[-o <output directory>]
Directory where the output dvd file system resides
[-n "dvd_title"]
This string will be placed on the top of the
menu page.
[-b <background jpeg>]
Image to put in the background of the menu.
[-e <embedded image>]
Embed a jpeg image in the middle of the screen.
The image shows up as a thumnail to the left of the
menu buttons.
Only one image is allowed.
[-a <audiofile>]
Audio file to use in the background of the
menu. The full audio file will keep looping.
Supports mp3, ogg, or wav.
[-mp2]
Use MP2 audio by default. AC3 seems to be more stable
in hardware players, but requires ffmpeg.
[-p]
Use PAL format instead of NTSC (untested initial support)
[-c]
Use continuous method. Each video plays one after another.
[-W]
Do not generate 50% white background behind menu text.
[-w]
Use widescreen mode (16:9) instead of default 4:3 aspect ratio.
[-L]
Use low quality mode for compatibility with the same option
in dvd-slideshow. This renders half-resolution menus.
[-D]
Do not call dvdauthor at the end. Useful when you want
to edit your own xml file and pass it to dvdauthor by hand.
[-theme themename]
Use the given theme when setting variables/colors/etc. Themes are
installed in /opt/dvd-slideshow/themes or in a local directory
~/.dvd-slideshow/themes
[-vcd]|[-svcd] [ALPHA!]
Create vcd .cue and .bin files (requires vcdimager)
[-iso]
Create iso image with genisoimage when finished.
[-nomenu]
Do not create a menu. Useful for just finishing the
dvdauthor xml file from one video that you want to just
start playing when the user puts it into a dvd player.
[-nocleanup]
Save files in temp directory for debugging.
