[vdr] Re: OT: Record a DVD on the fly ?
If you do not need "real" DVDs with menu, etc. you can simply burn the
VDR-directories with iso9660-format (the combination cdrecord-proDVD and
Xcdroast 0.98pre10 works great). But they only can be read with VDR.
Another possibility is to do the same, but reformat VDR's MPEG-PES to
MPEG-PS and create new index. MPEG-PS is the standard-format of DVD and
most newer DVD-Player should be able to browse the directories. And the
new index keeps compatibility to VDR.
Everything other has the problem there is a) no authoring-software for
linux yet (I'm working to get it run with wine) and the kernel threatens
all DVD-/CD-Rom-drives as read-only. That's why it is so uncomfortable
to use packet-writing with UDF (I hope the kernel developers will look
for that problem).
But if you just want to burn files on data-DVD you can do it
automatically with a shell-script:
VDR-files -> mplextools -> genindex -> determine volume of files ->
mkisofs -> cdrecord-proDVD
