I have a JVC Everio Camera. This records directly to MPEG2 in files
on the internal (2 GB) disk - for some strange reason with a .MOD
extension. I copy these files by mounting the camera via USB to
my FreeBSD 6.1 system and rename them to .mpg. mplayer is happy
playing the files.
As near as I can see, most DVD authoring software is aimed at the DV
tape format. My question: Is there a simple way I can cut a collection
of these MPEG2 files directly to DVD?
You probably need to re-multiplex them with mplex or tcmplex to add
the VOBU navigation packets and then assemble them into DVD format with
dvdauthor. You can split them with tcextract (from transcode) or mpeg2desc
(from dvdauthor). If you don't want menus and subtitles then you can avoid
messing with the XML and just use:
dvdauthor -o <target dir> <list of vob files>
for each title set you want, and
dvdauthor -o <target_dir> -T
to add the basic root menu structure. With one title set this
leaves a DVD that most (all ?) DVD players will just play.
It's all easier to do than it is to explain :)
