GOALS
======

just to provide a future helpfull shell script to
create VOB'able DVD prepared mpeg2 PS files outta VDR recordings (or else).

so this tool chain and its callee scripts purpose is to
find a solution to reach such a goal, which is hopefully almost done now ;-)

you can use the resulting mpeg2 PS to author your own DVD,
using for example dvdauthor >= 0.5.3 !!

so the chain could be read like this:

1.)     vdr-recording-dir   --- vdrcutter2 ----> temp_cut_destination
		- cuts and optionally splits marked source recording !

2.)	temp_cut_destination(MPEG-PES,..) --- vdrsync.pl ----> MPEG-ES (a/v)
		- vdrsync.pl demuxer demuxes the ES streams (a/v) off the source
		- vdrsync.pl also synchronizes the resulting a/v ES streams,
		  which is very necessary for dynamic a/v asyncs within VDR recordings !

3.)	MPEG2-ES (huge)     -- requant --> MPEG2_ES (smaller)
		- shortens the video ES using Metakines requant tool !
		- optional step

4.)	MPEG-ES (a/v)       -- mplex   --> MPEG-PS  (DVD-V conformant)
		- mux the ES streams (a/v) back together,
		  DVD-V conformant 

5.)     MPEG-PS             -- dvdmenu_make.sh  -> DVD-V image (DVD-V)
		- create a burnable DVD-V image
		- incl. title and audio menus !
		- using dvdmenu.pl, dvdauthor

where steps 1.) - 4.) 
are done automatically using the provided reccmds.conf example !

What do you need:
=================

   read INSTALL !


USAGE
=======

repackmpeg2.sh:	please have a look in repackmpeg2Many.sh

dvdmenu_make.sh: 
	 dvdmenu_make.sh MPEG-FILE [MPEG-FILE]*
		 where each file is one title, OR

	 dvdmenu_make.sh -t Title1_a Title1_b -t Title2_a Title2_b
		 where each title consist outta many files, OR

	 dvdmenu_make.sh -T TITLENAME Title1_a Title1_b -T TITLENAME Title2_a Title2_b
		 where each title consist outta many files with the given TITLENAME, OR

	 dvdmenu_make.sh -T TITLENAME Title1_a Title1_b -t Title2_a Title2_b -X Title3 Title4
		 mixed up, after -X each file is one title ...


	everything is generated automagically:
		- title-menu
		- audio-menu per title, if achannels > 1
			- uses tcprobe (transcoder package) to count the achannels
			- uses tcprobe (transcoder package) to test audio type
		- the resulting DVD-V iso image ..


THE FILES
=========

repackmpeg2Many.sh		- READ THIS NEXT - example repackmpeg2.sh usage ..

repackmpeg2.sh			- the repack bash shell script: demux, requant, mux

dvdmenu_make.sh			- the easy DVD-V image creation script

reccmds.conf			- the example vdr record command set, for repackmpeg2

repackmpeg2_vdr.sh		- the "pipe" for reccmd.conf to repackmpeg2.sh

dodvd.sh			- a little helper script for DVD-V creation,
				  using the dvdauthor >= 0.53

M2VRequantizer-20030925.tar.bz2	- the patched M2VRequantizer sources -> make a binary

vdrsync.pl			- the demuxer version >= 0.1.2.2

vdrsync-0.1.2.2.tgz.bz2		- the sources of vdrsync.pl

dvdmenu-0.4.1-jau02.tar.bz2     - the sources of dvdmenu-0.4.1-jau02

vdr-1.2.5-vdrcutter2.patch	- the patch for vdr-1.2.5 for new target vdrcutter2


SYNTAX reccmds.conf / xform.lst:
==================================

xform.lst syntax per line:

	mode deletesrc requantf dirname

	  mode: cat 	- repack all marked recordings 00*.vdr files to one resulting one ..,
			  vdrcutter will being used to cut those -> no cut needed within vdr !

	  mode: split 	- repack all marked recordings 00*.vdr files to n splitted results
			  vdrcutter will being used to cut/split those -> no cut needed within vdr !
			  good for episodes

	  deletesrc: true	- delete source, delete the whole rec-dir
	  deletesrc: false	- keep source

	  requantf:  1		- no requantization at all, keep good quality
	  requantf:  1.1 - 2.0	- requantization, use requant to shrink size, 
				  this higher requantf, the less the quality,
				  usual values: 1.4, 1.5, .. 

	  dirname:	just the rec-dirname provided by reccmds.conf ..
