NEEDED: console tool dvd authoring

After today, I've decided that I need to figure out how to make DVDs from movie files, with only console tools (no frontends). I'm going to start this wiki guide in a day or two, and possibly make a bash script to do all this stuff. I'm not interested in how to rip dvds with the console (dvd::rip is great for that), but how to encode them from movie files (divX, Xvid, mpeg4, WMV).

If you have any useful links for any part of the process, paste a link here.

I was very satisfied with the results of tovid, you should give it a try.

do
transcode -i  "`echo $i | sed 's/ /\ /g' | sed 's/.avi*$//'`".avi -x mplayer,mplayer -V -E 48000 -b 224 -w 7500 -J fps --export_fps 25 -Z 720x576 -y mpeg -F 8 -o "`echo $i | sed 's/ /\ /g' | sed 's/.avi*$//'`"
mplex -f 8 -o "`echo $i | sed 's/ /\ /g' | sed 's/.avi*$//'`".mpg "`echo $i | sed 's/ /\ /g' | sed 's/.avi*$//'`".m1v "`echo $i | sed 's/ /\ /g' | sed 's/.avi*$//'`".mpa
