Ah, mastery is sweet! Thanks to information and suggestions from you all, I have a most excellent DVD for my artist client. Just to show you how easy things are in the Linux world, here are the (obvious, of course) commands which did the trick - for f in *.tif; do echo $f; convert -filter point -resize 720x480! $f ../video/images/$f; done for f in *.tif; do echo $f; convert $f +compress ${f%tif}ppm; done cat images/*.ppm | ppmtoy4m -F 30000:1001 -A 10:11 -S 420mpeg2 >ream.y4m mpeg2enc <ream.y4m --format 8 --output ream.m2v mplex -f 8 -o ream.vob ream.m2v dvdauthor -o DVD -x ream.xml mkisofs -o dvd.raw -dvd-video DVD cdrecord -scanbus # determine device SCSI address cdrecord-prodvd dev=2,0,0 -pad -dao dvd.raw with ream.xml containing <dvdauthor> <vmgm /> <titleset> <titles> <pgc> <vob file="ream.vob"/> <post> jump chapter 1; </post> </pgc> </titles> </titleset> </dvdauthor> For routine use I guess the first five commands should be combined into a single pipeline: convert *.tif -filter point -resize 720x480! +compress ppm:- | ppmtoy4m -F 30000:1001 -A 10:11 -S 420mpeg2 | mpeg2enc --format 8 | mplex -f 8 -o ream.vob ;-) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
