SmallDVD is a simple DVD authoring utility for MacOSX
that will take ready-encoded MPEG2 files and create a
DVD image from them that can be burnt using Disk Utility.
It is an AppleScript front-end for dvdauthor and a variety
of other existing command line tools.
v0.4
- Added ability to set chapter lengths to the template editor
- Can now remove video files from the list
- DVDs now return to menu after playing each video (might allow this to be
configurable in the template in a later version)
- Aspect ratio of preview menu now changes when set in the template editor
v0.3
- Changed the way temporary files are stored to hopefully make it more
resilient to unexpected missing folders
- Added ability to change aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3 (set in the
template)
v0.2
- Fixed a bug that caused the temporary items folder not to be created at
startup
v0.1
October 2006
Prerequisites
- MacOSX 10.4
- iMagine Photo
Included in the package
- dvdauthor & spumux (from dvdauthor)
- mpeg2enc, mplex & png2yuv (from mjpegtools)
- mkisofs (from cdrtools)
- bbdmux (from bbMPEG)
- Native Intel and PPC versions of each of these are included (which is why
there are different packages for each platform)
Known limitations
- Chapter marks are fixed at every 10 minutes (will fix this in a later
version)
- Text only menu buttons (might add thumbnail image buttons in a later
version)
- No chapter menus, no motion menus (unlikely to fix this in the near
future)
- No checking for correct format of video files on input. If the file is
not MPEG2 video with MP2 audio, create DVD will fail
- Doesn't work on MacOSX 10.3 (I'd like to fix this)
