Re: Best tools for making DVD Video?

Has anyone had trouble getting avidemux installed?

I've tried the stable, testing & unstable marillat repostitories, and
just keep going in circles.

I finally narrowed the problem down to the following
Avidemux depends on:
libmp4-0
libfaac0
depdends on:
libmp4v2-0
conflicts with:
libmp4-0

Hi,

I've been exploring tools available for linux, and in Ubuntu
repositories in particular, for making Video DVDs with menus and
chapters. I find there seems to be a dizzying array of options for
video editing & DVD creation, with a lot of overlap, so I'm wondering
what others are using.

I'm wondering what the best tool or tools (few as possible) would be
for the following requirements:
--I already have video sources, so no capture is necessary
--I'd like to be able to mark commercials so that:
--The commercials can be cut out and
--Chapter marks will be placed where the commercials were
--(Auto commercial detection is NOT a requirement)
--In some cases, transcode or reincode the video to the proper
resolution and/or video codec
--Have multiple episodes of a show available on a disc, so menus are a must
--Have some control over menu style such as layout, font, background
(looping sound would be nice).

Any advice from those who have already put the pieces together would
be much appreciated!

Thanks
Zach C.

I would recommend using tovid or ffmpeg to convert to mpeg. My favourite
is either the command:

for pal:
tovid -pal -dvd-vcd -in <input video> -out <output prefix>
or
ffmpeg -i <input video> -target pal-dvd -s 352x288 <ouput video>

Replace pal with ntsc if you live in the USA.

For the editting, use avidemux.

For the menus I would use either dvdauthor or DVDStyler. Both are very
good programs which are very easy to use.
