DVD-Baker project is a small suite of programmes designed that can turn your image collection into a DVD.
Your image collection can be stored in a web gallery such as Menalto Gallery G2.
Formerly known as gallery2-to-dvd, DVD-Baker has evolved from a brute-force (hack) bash script to a php/bash combination that allows you to bake your DVD on a computer other than your webserver.
Main features:
- Menu system based on the root and branch albums/folders
- Slideshows made from the images in each leaf album using dvd-slideshow
- An albums highlight is embedded in its corresponding menu
- Subtitles for each image (switchable)
- Customisable image durations and transition effects
- Autoplay after menu timeout plays each slideshow sequentially
- Random autoplay (optional) if using dvdauthor 0.6.12
- Options menu (optional) for toggling subtitles, autoplay and repeat modes
- Either NTSC or PAL video formats
- DVD-compliant MPEG movies can be included
- High or low quality modes
How DVD-Baker works
Its as simple as RECIPE => BAKE => BURN !!!
1. Prepare the recipe:
For Menalto Gallery G2:
g2-dvd-recipe.php needs to be placed in the base directory of your G2 site.
2. Baking the ingredients:
Running dvd-baker will produce all the slideshows and menus as specified by the recipe.
A file called dvdauthor.xml will be produced describing all those menus and slideshows, and how they work together.
3. Burning the DVD:
If you didnt specify the -d option for dvd-baker, then:
$ dvdauthor -x dvdauthor.xml
To burn the dvd, use your preferred burning application to create a DVD-Video from the resultant ./DVD directory.
Enhancements:
- A few important features have been added.
- The most requested may be the ability to specify the gallery album to bake (rather than the users root album), and the ability to specify an album to use to create a DVD leader (a title played before the root menu is shown).
- Also included is an optional Options Menu System, which can be accessed by pressing the SUBTITLE button (or F3 in gxine) to toggle options such as SUBTITLES, AUTOPLAY, and REPEAT during playback.
- Minor cleanups and bugfixes are included.

Bluewhite64 Linux is an unofficial port of Slackware Linux to the AMD64 architecture. This means that it runs on AMD64 based servers and computers.
Bluewhite64 Linuxs goal of this port is to mimic the user experience of the Intel x86 distribution at its best. I will try to include the same software, configuration scripts and so on. If you notice any differences between Bluewhite64 and the original Slackware, dont hesitate to email me.
Enhancements:
- Bluewhite64 Linux 12.0 Live DVD runs entirely from DVD and includes all packages from Bluewhite64 Linux 12.0 (except the Y and KDEi software series) and the updated packages from the patches directory. Also, in addition to this version, I have included extra packages created by the Bluewhite64 Linux community. The DVD includes the latest stable SMP Linux kernel 2.6.22.1 with advanced features. It is designed to bring a modern Linux desktop to 64-bit architectures, including the modularized X.Org 7.2 with Compiz and Beryl, the award-winning KDE 3.5.7, OpenOffice.org 2.2, Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird 2.0.0.6, Swaret 1.6.3 and Qtswaret 0.1.5-3 package managers....

- DVD with Menus for Title-, Audio- and Chapter Selection (dvdwizard)

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).

dvdbackup you can do a 1:1 copy of a DVD-video.

Installation

Download dvdbackup version 0.1 - you will also need libdvdread version 0.9.3 or later.

Compile dvdbackup.c in the src dir like this gcc -o dvdbackup
-I/my/prefix/to/libdvdread/include -L/my/prefix/to/libdvdread/lib
-ldvdread dvdbackup.c

NOTE: The "" indicates that its one line - i.e. remove the "" from the command
line

Usage:

If your backup directory is /my/dvd/backup/dir/ specified with the "-o" flag. Then dvdbackup will create a DVD-Video structure under /my/dvd/backup/dir/TITLE_NAME/VIDEO_TS.

Since the title is "uniq" you can use the same dir for all your DVD backups. If it happens to have a generic title dvdbackup will exit with a return value of 2. And you will need to specify a title name with the -n switch.

dvdbackup will always mimic the original DVD-Video structure. Hence if you e.g. use the -M (mirror) you will get an exact duplicate of the original. This means that every file will be have the same size as the original one. Like wise goes also for the -F and the -T switch.

However the -t and (-t -s/-e) switch is a bit different the titles sectors will be written to the original file but not at the same offset as the original one since they may be gaps in the cell structure that we dont fill.

To backup the whole DVD

dvdbackup -M -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir/

This action creates a valid DVD-Video structure that can be burned to a DVD-/+R(W) with help of mkisofs version 1.11a27 or later

To backup the main feature of the DVD

dvdbackup -F -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir/

This action creates a valid DVD-Video structure of the feature title set
dvdbackup defaults to get the 16:9 version of the main feature if a 4:3 is also present on the DVD. To get the 4:3 version use -a 0.

dvdbackup makes it best to make a inteligent guess what is the main feature of the DVD - in case it fails please send a bug report.

To backup a title set

dvdbackup -T 2 -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir/

where "-T 2" specifies that you want to backup title set 2 i.e. all VTS_02_X.XXX files.

This action creates a valid DVD-Video structure of the specified title set

To backup a title

dvdbackup -t 1 -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir

This action backups all cells that forms the specified title. Note that there can be sector gaps in between one cell and an other. dvdbackup will backup all sectors that belongs to the title but will skip sectors that arent a part of the title.

To backup a specific chapter or chapters from a title

dvdbackup -t 1 -s 20 -e 25 -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir

This action will backup chapter 20 to 25 in title 1, as with the backup of a title there can be sector gaps between one chapter (cell) and on other.dvdbackup will backup all sectors that belongs to the title 1 chapter 20 to 25 but will skip sectors that arent a part of the title 1 chapter 20 to 25.

To backup a single chapter e.g. chapter 20 do -s 20 -e 20
To backup from chapter 20 to the end chapter use only -s 20
To backup to chapter 20 from the first chapter use only -e 20

You can skip the -t switch and let the program guess the title although its not recomened.

If you specify a chapter that his higher than the last chapter of the title dvdbackup will turncate to the highest chapter of the title.

Return values

0 on success
1 on usage error
2 on title name error
-1 on failur

Todo - i.e. whats on the agenda

Make the main feature guessing algoritm better. Not that it doesnt do its job, but its implementation its that great. I would also like to preserve more information about the main feature since that would let me preform better implementations in other functions that depends on the titles_info_t and title_set_info_t strcutures.
Make it possible to extract cells in a title not just chapters (very easy so it will definitly be in the next version).

Make a split mirror (-S) option that divides a DVD-9 to two valid DVD-5 video structures. This is not a trivial hack and its my main goal the next month or so. It involves writing ifoedit and vobedit libraries in order to be able to manipulate both the IFO structures and the VOB files. Out of this will most probably also come tscreate and vtscreate which will enable you to make a very simple DVD-Video from MPEG-1/2 source.
