We can use more penguins here! Welcome evilpenguin81

Thanks

The menu generation code was designed to be extra portable so its got its own .exe and a really simple interface. It shouldn't take much modification to get it working outside of Sage.

Hey, someone on IRC pointed me towards this forum. It looks like you've got the video all sorted out, but perhaps I could be of some assistance with the menus

Check out my SageTV plugin and let me know

Hey evilpenguin81

Yeap...any help with DVD menus would be greatly received
Is it possible to get a copy of your source code? Would be happy to share mine (its still WIP so not releasing it the general public just yet). Couldnt work out where I could download the files from your site....can you point me at the right package?
At the minute im using purely open source software so I can package everything in one installer. CDRecord.exe instead of ImgBurn for example.
In my version there is no limit on the number of video files you can put on the DVD.

My code's in a bit of a wierd format I'm writting everything in PERL and them compiling the scripts into universally usable .exe's with PAR. You can download all of my code @

http://zadigian.backpackit.com/pub/552408

by clicking the perl2dvd v1.0 link near the top of the page.

Also, if you're not much on perl , if you scroll all the way to the bottom i've posted a log file from my script that prints out all of the program calls i'm using to transcode the videos and generate the menus (Note that SageTVTranscoder.exe is just ffmpeg.exe with a fancy name)

Currently i've removed menuGen.exe from the .zip as i've combined everything into one script (perl2dvd.exe) for SageTV, however, i'm still keeping menuGen upto date with all of my changes.

Check it out, and let me know if you have any questions.

Todays update :
Thanks to EvilPenguin81, I now have a basic menu for my DVD. He is working on releasing an updated version of his menuGen.exe which I will then include in the plugin. Its looking really funky!

Help needed :
Im still having some trouble with threading. https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=15273&highlight=
At the minute when I click on my Convert button, all the video conversion apps execute on the same thread as the GUI.....so it freezes....which isnt ideal! So if anyone can help me out on this I would be eternally grateful

Current Status:
Divx -> DVD working.
Recorded TV -> DVD working.
Placeholder DVD menu in place pending EvilPenguins cool app.
DVD's are either NTSC or PAL encoded.

To Do:
Speed up Divx to DVD conversion. It currently converts from Divx to MPEG, and then MPEG to MPEG (dvd NAV packets included). Need to get this done in one step.
Threading stuff.

Egon

p.s. and as its a bank holiday weekend here in England, ive got 3 days to work on it. So if we can all sort out the Threading stuff, I hope to get a beta release out sometime this weekend!

Hi Egon,

I'm looking forward to the first beta. :lol:

Thanks for your efforts.

Hey Folks,

Just to let you all know that im still working on it. Got one bug left to fix then I can release a beta. Does anyone have any experience on why mkisofs.exe sometimes crashes with a stackdump? If I call it from a bat file in a command line then all ok....but if I call the same bat file from MP it crashes.
