VideoLink converts an interlinked set of HTML pages and video files

-encodes all linked pages as video files. It uses \fBdvdauthor\fR(1)
-to assemble a DVD video filesystem containing the encoded pages and
-other video files they link to.
+into a DVD. Starting from a main menu page at \fImenu-url\fR, it
+follows links and encodes all linked pages as video files. It uses
+\fBdvdauthor\fR(1) to assemble a DVD video filesystem in
+\fIoutput-dir\fR containing the encoded pages and other video files
+they link to.
+.LP
+There are some restrictions on the content of the HTML pages, detailed
+in \fBREADME.gz\fR. The existing video files are not converted and
+therefore must conform to the DVD video specifications.
