Description

Author: Sascha Volkenandt

The burn plugin lets you choose the recordings you want to burn as DVD, automatically creates menus and finally burns the DVD. If the recordings are too big in size, they are requantizised to save space.

Status

Last Update 12/2011

DVD Types

Video DVD with menu

The created DVD shows a start screen, listing all recordings. Each recording has a submenu showing it's EPG info.

Installation

Options

DDVDDEV=/dev/dvd DVD-Burn device (= Parameter -D --dvd=<DEV>)
ISODIR=/video path for ISO images (= Parameter -i <DIR> --iso=<DIR>)
datadir=/tmp path for temporal Files during Demux/Mux/creating ISOs (= Parameter -d <DIR> --datadir <DIR> )
tempdir=/tmp path for temporal Files during Demux/Mux/creating ISOs (= Parameter -d <DIR> --datadir <DIR> )
DEBUG=1 be verbose

Configuration

Add the following entry to your reccmds.conf

Mark for DVD-Writer: /usr/bin/burnmark.sh -add
Delete Mark        : /usr/bin/burnmark.sh -del

Parameter

Parameter (short) Parameter (long) Description
-d DIR --datadir=DIR use DIR for temporary files (default: /dev/dvd)
-D DEV --dvd=DEV use DEV as DVD Writer (default /dev/dvd)
-i DIR --iso=DIR use DIR to store ISO images (default: none)

Problems

Vdrsync is no longer developed and makes trouble with AC3 audio. In case of trouble with AC3, AC3 should be disabled or Project X used instead.

Sometimes Demux fails for ceertain file names, if wrong Project X version is in use. Version 0.90.3 should work.

  • Version 0.1.0 pre21-15 (current)has problem, if no dvd burner is found:
    • The Job settings show only option "Burn DVD" instead of "Create ISO" and is unchangable.
  • demux may fail, if projectx was not started once before by hand, because it expects its license to be accepted.
