-Run "webdvd URL" where URL is the URL for the page that is to be the
-top menu of the DVD. It will automatically follow links to other
-pages and to video files, rendering each page. You must be careful
-not to link to pages that you do not want to appear on the disc, such
-as normal web sites.
-
-By default, webdvd uses a frame size of 720x576, which is suitable for
-PAL DVDs. If you wish to produce NTSC DVDs you must override this
-by adding the option "-geometry 720x480".
-
-This will create the following files (with NNNNNN replaced with each
-successive page number):
-
-- webdvd.dvdauthor: This is an XML file to be passed to dvdauthor.
-- page_NNNNNN.spumux: These are XML files to be passed to spumux.
-- page_NNNNNN_back.png: This is a static image of the page, which
- becomes the menu background.
-- page_NNNNNN_links.png: This is an image of the change in appearance
- of each link when the pointer is over it.
-
-Currently, you must run commands along the following lines to produce
-a complete DVD image:
-
-for spumux in page_??????.spumux; do
- page=$(basename $spumux .spumux)
- pngtopnm ${page}_back.png \
- | ppmtoy4m -v0 -n 1 -F 25:1 -A 59:54 -I p -S 420_mpeg2 \
- | mpeg2enc -v0 -f 8 -a 2 -o /dev/stdout \
- | mplex -v0 -f 8 -o /dev/stdout /dev/stdin \
- | spumux -v0 -m dvd $spumux > ${page}.vob
-done
-rm -rf dvd-temp
-dvdauthor -o dvd-temp -x webdvd.dvdauthor
-mkisofs -dvd-video dvd-temp >dvd.iso
-rm -rf dvd-temp
-
-Adjust the name of the temporary directory (here "dvd-temp") and the
-output file ("dvd.iso") as you please.
-
-If you are using NTSC video, you will need to change the ppmtoy4m
-parameters. Use "-F 30000:1001 -A 10:11" instead of "-F 25:1 -A 59:54".
+Run "webdvd URL DIR" where URL is the URL for the page that is to be
+the top menu of the DVD and DIR is the directory in which to create
+the DVD filesystem (which should be missing or empty). It will
+automatically follow links to other pages and to video files,
+rendering each page. You must be careful not to link to pages that
+you do not want to appear on the disc, such as normal web sites.
+
+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".
+
+If webdvd runs successfully you can use mkisofs to create a DVD image:
+
+ mkisofs -dvd-video DIR > IMAGE
+ rm -rf DIR
+
+Alternately you can write the filesystem directly to a writable DVD
+with growisofs or mkisofs plus a suitable version of cdrecord.
