How To: Make your own DVD using Linux
Sure, you’ve been able to do this by fiddling around with arcane stuff for ages. But now it’s EASY.
Tovid is the tool to use — download it http://tovid.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, and install it. There is a UI, which I haven’t played with; the command line options are so straightforward, though, that it is worth getting familiar with them.
Prepare the content.
Gather your clips. Let’s assume you have 3 short videos you’re going to put on the dvd, and that you want a menu.
Convert them to dvd format, if necessary; e.g. tovid -ntsc -dvd -in myclip1.mpg -out myclip1-dvd. (If you’re in Europe, use -pal insteal of -ntsc.) See the wiki for more examples. On my AMD64/3400, conversion takes about 5 minutes for a 4 minute video.
Build the menu.
