Free dvd rw tools 5.20.4.10.8 software for linux

dvdrtools is a fork of cdrtools, with the primary goal of supporting writable DVD drives.
The initial version was released February 4, 2002.
dvdrtools is a suite of software based on cdrtools for writing DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R, and CD-RW media.
Other modifications compared to cdrtools include:
- Replacing the build system with standard autoconf/automake
- Cleaning up and stripping down the code
- Our primary development platform is Linux, and we like doing things the Linux way (dev=/dev/whatever, not 0,0,0)
- Addition of tools for handling video DVDs
- We dont believe in artificially extending the life cycle of obsolete technologies (like C compilers that cant even handle ANSI). For the sake of readability, support for some really obsolete systems has been removed.
- This is a community project, maintained in a subversion repository. If you wish to join us, you get write access after showing us some code.
dvdrtools also includes basic support for mastering video DVDs.
Enhancements:
- 0.3.1 is a bugfix release for 0.3.0. It fixes mostly portability bugs; if you didnt have any problems with 0.3.0, theres no need to update.

DVD Backup is an unix shell script providing functionality for backuping files and databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) on DVD discs.
DVD Backup supports multisession and incremental backups. Mail notification is also supported.
Enhancements:
- This release sends email notifications using netcat instead of telnet.
- There are more details about communication with the SMTP server, and configurable excluded files patterns.

DVD-Vault provides an achive software to manage DVD jukeboxes (SCSI medium changers).
DVD-Vault is an implementation of a filesystem archive that makes a DVD SCSI library with multiple pieces of DVD-R or DVD-RAM media look like a single large file system.
A library with 1000 pieces of 4.7Gbyte media can be addressed as a 4700GByte file system with SCSI-robotic mounting and unmounting of media as required.
Users of UniTree (HPSS), AMASS, METIOR, and MagnaVault may recognize how this program works.
It has been tested with an ASACA 250 and 1450 and the Sony/Kubota 64-slot PD (blu-ray) library.
Enhancements:
- Binary and source code have been broken apart into two different files.
- DMAPI code now "punches" holes in files, rather than truncating the files. This makes file sizes transparent, which is really helpful for Windows clients.
- disk_scrub has been implemented to reclaim optical disk space when files are deleted.
- The MCLIB routines have support for Qualstar tape libraries.
- Batch_migration is in the binary RPM to support WORM media (BD-R, DVD+R).
- Tape stage support is in the stage program
- Purge is replaced with purgefile to support the new DMAPI code.

dvd::rip is a full featured DVD copy program written in Perl. It provides an easy to use but feature-rich Gtk+ GUI to control almost all aspects of the ripping and transcoding process.
dvd::rip project uses the widely known video processing swissknife transcode and many other Open Source tools. dvd::rip itself is licensed under GPL / Perl Artistic License.
Main features:
- Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD (and probably other Unices) and does not depend on anything produced in Redmond - pure Open Source!
- Rip to harddisk, on the fly or from an existent DVD image
- Select audio track(s), viewing angle(s), multitple titles
- Rip as much audio tracks as you like into one AVI/OGG/SVCD file
- Supports nearly all of transcodes video codecs, e.g: divx4, divx5, xvid, xvidcvs, ffmpeg, fame, opendivx and mpeg2enc
- DivX/Xvid multipass encoding
- (S)VCD modes, with multiple audio tracks for SVCD
- Integrated video bitrate calculator based on target size resp. number of discs
- Automatic splitting of the target files for best fit on the specified number of discs
- Several deinterlace filter presets
- Audio AC3 and PCM passthrough
- Audio MP3 encoding
- Audio volume maximizing and/or range compression
- OGG/Vorbis support, quality and bitrate based, adjusting the optimal video bitrate after audio transcoding in quality mode
- WAV file creation from a selected audio track
- Subtitle rendering and vobsub creation
- Support for all transcode video filters, with realtime configuration and video preview
- Live video transcoding preview window
- Chapter mode: one file per chapter
- Use your favorite movie player for preview
- Provide frame clipping, resizing and final clipping
- Powerful auto adjusting of all clip & zoom parameters
- Adjust clipping area using drag and drop
- dvd::rips zoom calculator let you adjust every possible parameter, if you like to do so
- Two resize modes: fast and high quality resizing
- Simple but easy to use CD burning facility
- Last but not least a comprehensive cluster mode, which let you use all your Linux/Unix hardware for parallel encoding.
Enhancements:
- A small screen layout mode was added, which makes dvd::rip fit on small screens like 15" widescreen notebooks.

Tivo2dvd creates and executes the series of commands required to access, format, and burn television shows from a Series II Tivo directly to a DVD. The project supports processing multiple shows at once, to a DVD with menus.

Q DVD-Authors goal is to provide a complete DVDAuthoring solution for Linux with the emphasis of ease of use and a complete set of functionality.

- Thats it for now !!!
Enhancements:
- Translated into Esperanto.

- Added MenuSlide - dialog.

dvdmenuauthor project makes it easy and efficient to author a DVD with menus in an indirect (non-WYSIWYG) way. An XML project file drives the DVD authoring, from which both menus and a dvdauthor XML file are generated.

dvdauthor and spumux are then used to author the DVD filesystem. Menu items (buttons and static items such as images and text) can be specified conscisely in the project XML file with LaTeX markup (to be processed by pdfLaTeX and rendered by xpdf).
