Hmmm,... not very convenient... a very usefull but unfortunately hidden feature! :( Shouldn't we use an additional export switch for that? In that case DVBcut could automatically create the bash script and write to it via pipe, without any user input except for the output directory! Or even better,... why not forget about the script an directly write to "|dvdauthor -t ... -"? > > As a next step it would of course be nice to generate > the xml file for dvdauthor _before_ the actual export > as a temporary and specify its name in an environment > variable. > ... that wouldn't be necessary with the above mentioned approach since DVBcut could write the chapter string (with CLI switch, i.e. -c 'pts1,pts2,pts3,...') directly to the temporary script... :-)) Or do you want the XML file to create a menu? Maybe that's also possible on the command line with a 'dvdauthor -m...' call just before writing the TOC? But I never did menus with the CLI... ciao ralph PS: BTW,... just in case someone does not know... With that procedure it's also possible to have multiple movies (with different specifications!) in one DVD structure since titelsets can be created with sucessive 'dvdauthor -t...' calls ! :) PSPS: Any idea if that also would work on windows? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
