Try qdvdauthor.  It will allow you to master a DVD with 3 titles from 
your VOB files (and also add chapters to each of those titles if you 
desire).

It also has a graphical editor to create animated DVD menus.

You'll likely need to unmask an unstable build of qdvdauthor and also 
videotrans:

echo =media-video/qdvdauthor-1.0.0_rc1  /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo =media-video/videotrans-1.5.2  /etc/portage/package.keywords

Hope that helps.
Good luck!

[gentoo-user] DVD 2.4 to DVD5

2007-06-11 Thread Nicola Degl'Innocenti
Hi!
I am a new member of this list, my name is Nicola and I am from italy.
And, oh yes, I am a Gentoo User! 

I have bought a new camcorder with minidvd, and i need to convert this mini 
dvd to the standard video dvd (4.7Gb) preferibly without addictional 
compression and in a simply way :-)

Is there any linux tool (with graphical interface or testual one) that can do 
the trick? With the camcorder is shipped a custom version of nero that do the 
conversion but I have removed windows very long ago and I don't need it.
Well, I think is all.

Thanks a lot

Nicola

Can you read the mini-dvds in your computer's DVD drive?

If so, you just need to copy the data to a new disk -- k3b should be able to 
do this if you have enough free space in your temporary directory.  You can 
do it in two (or three) steps as well, if you want or need to store the image 
on your HD.  You'll rip the content with cp, dd, dvdbackup, or k3b.  This 
will either create an iso or directory; you can loopback mount the iso to get 
a directory or use genisoimage to get an iso from the directory.  Finally 
burn the iso/directory using growisofs or k3b.

If not, the first thing is you need to find a library/program that can read 
the A/V off the mini-dvd.  For that task, I can provide no aid.
