About:
dvdauthor is a command-line utility for creating DVD video structures from standard MPEG-2 video files. It generates the necessary VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directories, complete with menus, chapters, and multi-angle support. This tool is essential for authoring playable DVDs from transcoded video assets.
Key Features:
  • Generates DVD-compatible VOB, IFO, and BUP files
  • Supports creating custom menus using XML configuration
  • Handles multiple audio tracks, subtitles, and chapter points
  • Integrates with mplex for multiplexing MPEG streams
Use Cases:
  • Creating playable DVDs from personal video recordings
  • Authoring video projects with custom menus and chapter navigation
  • Batch processing video files for physical media distribution
Alternatives:
  • DeVeDe – GUI-based tool that often uses dvdauthor as a backend for easier menu creation
  • HandBrake – Primarily a video transcoder, not a full DVD authoring tool
