-the videos must be local files with filenames ending in ".vob", but no

-By default, webdvd generates PAL/SECAM video. If you wish to produce
-NTSC DVDs you can override this by adding the option "--video-std ntsc"

+
+Linking to video
+
+You can link directly to local MPEG video files whose names end in
+".mpeg", ".mpeg2", ".mpg" or ".vob". If you wish to combine multiple
+files into a single video sequence ("title" in DVD terminology) or to
+add chapter marks to a video sequence, create and link to a VOB-list
+file (explained below) whose name ends in ".voblist".
+
+VOB-lists
+
+A VOB-list file is an XML file with the document element <vob-list>
+and containing <vob> elements as described in the dvdauthor manual
+page. The file names in a VOB-list file are resolved relative to the
+directory containing the list file. For example:
+
+ <vob-list>
+ <vob file="main.vob" chapters="0:00,4:55,12:13,17:45"/>
+ <vob file="credits.vob"/>
+ </vob-list>
+
+This will result in a title with the following chapters:
+
+ 1: main.vob 0:00- 4:55
+ 2: main.vob 4:55-12:13
+ 3: main.vob 12:13-17:45
+ 4: main.vob 17:45- end
+ 5: credits.vob
+
+You can link to the start of a chapter by adding "#" and the chapter
+number after the VOB-list's file name. For example:
+
+ <a href="movie.voblist#1">Chapter 1</a><br>
+ <a href="movie.voblist#2">Chapter 2</a><br>
+ <a href="movie.voblist#3">Chapter 3</a><br>
+ <a href="movie.voblist#4">Chapter 4</a>
+
+Video standards
+
+The encoding of analogue TV and video signals varies in many different
+ways between countries. Happily there are only two parameters that
+matter for standard-definition digital video, and two different pairs
+of values. You can choose between these with the --video-std option:
+
+Analogue parameters | Region of world | --video-std | Frame
+ | | argument | size
+----------------------+------------------------------+-------------+--------
+59.94 fields/second, | Americas except Argentina, | 525 | 720x576
+interlaced; | Paraguay, Uruguay; | or 525/60 |
+525 lines/frame | Japan; Laos; Myanmar; | or NTSC |
+(commonly called | Philippines; South Korea; | or ntsc |
+ NTSC) | Taiwan; some Pacific islands | |
+----------------------+------------------------------+-------------+--------
+50 fields/second, | Rest of world | 625 | 720x480
+interlaced; | | or 625/50 |
+625 lines/frame | | or PAL |
+(commonly called PAL) | | or pal |
+
+The default is to use "PAL" parameters.
