What's avdvdb

(A)ny (V)ideo to (DVD) (B)urner (avdvdb) is a set of bash scripts which will do the process of converting, authoring and burning any video to a dvd compliant disc in a really simple way even though it's command-line based.
You will need:

Some video files in any format readable by your mplayer installation, all of them in the same format if possible.
Some (the same amount or less) subtitle files in srt format which will correspond to each video file specified.
An image, which will be used as main menu backgroud.

With all this avdvdb will join every video file, convert it to mpeg2, add subtitles and make a dvd with a main menu and a scenes selection menu. Every scene (chapter) is set to be made every 10 minutes unless you are in episode mode (-e), in this case they will be made at the beginning of evey file specified (as it assumes their are episodes).
