.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
VideoLink converts an interlinked set of HTML pages and video files
into a DVD.  Starting from a main menu page, it follows links and
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.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-\-preview
.RS
Selects preview mode.  In preview mode, the pages are displayed in a
browser roughly as they will appear on a DVD player.
.RE
.TP
.BI \-\-video-std " standard"
.RS
Selects the target video standard.  This should match the standard
used for the video files.  It affects the frame size and the frame
rate specified when encoding pages as video.  The two standards can be
specified as "525", "525/60", "NTSC" or "ntsc" and as "625", "625/50",
"PAL" or "pal" respectively.
.RE
.TP
.BI \-\-encoder " encoder"
.RS
Selects the program(s) used to encode pages to video.  By default
VideoLink calls \fBffmpeg\fR(1), but it can alternately use programs
from mjpegtools.  The \fIencoder\fR can be "ffmpeg", "mjpegtools", or
"mjpegtools-old" for versions of mjpegtools prior to 1.8.
