Configuration code

This is your main code. It configures the script.

Save it as, for example, make-menu.php.

<?php
## Required programs:
##   ffmpeg (libavcodec mother project)

##   GD2
##   Freetype
## Required minimal PHP version:
##   4.0.3 (for escapeshellarg)

To run it, issue the following command:

   php make-menu.php > dvdauthor.xml

To produce the DVD image, run DVDAuthor as such:

   mkdir DVD
   rm DVD/VIDEO_TS/*
   dvdauthor -o DVD -x dvdauthor.xml -m
   mkisofs -dvd-video -o DVD.iso DVD

Note that you also need the common code file, below.

On the right, you can see the result of this example menu (sans the cursor, which is a filled yellow circle).

How to make mpeg2 files

To create a mpeg2 encoding of a program that you wish to include on the DVD, you can customize this shell script to launch ffmpeg:

 SETS="-flags +mv0+umv+qprd -cmp rd -subcmp rd -mbcmp rd -mbd rd -trellis 2 -directpred 3 -partitions +parti4x4+parti8x8+partp4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 -me_method epzs -dia_size 4 -pre_dia_size 2 -subq 10 -qcomp 0.1 -bt 260000 -nr 2 -bf 2 -b_strategy 2"
 THREADS="-threads 2"

 MAXPROC=3
 for s in 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10;do 
  while [ $(jobs -p|wc -l) -ge $MAXPROC ]; do sleep 1;done
  ffmpeg -y -i \
   originals/"Prophecy 101 Islam and Satan - Walid Shoebat ($s of 10).flv" \
   -target pal-dvd -vb 540k -ab 128k $THREADS  \
    $SETS -aspect 4:3 \
   parts/partd"$s".mpg &
 done
 wait

 # Above, the source files are in originals/ and the target files in parts/

It is a shell script that issues multiple jobs in parallel (multitasking / scheduling), while maintaining a limit of $MAXPROC simultaneous processes.

Note that this encoding script is a tad slow. It is optimized for creating a small file for fitting a lot of content on a DVD (more than 10 hours in this example case of mine). You can and should increase the vb and ab values to create better quality videos.

Change the pal-dvd to ntsc-dvd if you want to create a NTSC DVD instead of a PAL DVD. The differences between PAL and NTSC DVDs are:

Resolution Frame rate

PAL Better (720x576 / 704x576 / 352x576 / 352x288) Worse (25)

NTSC Worse (720x480 / 704x480 / 352x480 / 352x240) Better (29.97)

	Resolution	Frame rate
PAL	Better (720x576 / 704x576 / 352x576 / 352x288)	Worse (25)
NTSC	Worse (720x480 / 704x480 / 352x480 / 352x240)	Better (29.97)

Both standards support the 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. However, the 16:9 aspect ratio ("widescreen") is only available for video that is 720 pixels wide.

To choose between PAL and NTSC, use this rulebook:

Is the original content NTSC? Yes → Use NTSC
Is the original content PAL? Yes → Use PAL
Is your source material low resolution? Yes → Use NTSC
Use PAL
