DVD creation from a VDR recording

Making a MPEG2 stream file

  • Demuxing of the recording:
cd /video/MyRecording/DATE/
vdrsync.pl /video/MyRecording/DATE/ -o /video/ -basename NewFilm

You now have a few files: NewFilm.mpv (video stream), NewFilm0.mpa and NewFilm1.mpa (audio streams) To have more info on sync, add the -show-time-drift option.

  • Remuxing into a mpeg2 stream (-f3 for generic MPEG2, -f8 for DVD stream)
cd /video
mplex -f3 -o NewFilm.mpg NewFilm.mpv NewFilm1.mpa
  • Alternatively, make a DVD image in one step:
vdrsync.pl /video/MyRecording/DATE/ -master-dvd -o /video/ -basename NewFilm

Converting to MPEG4 (Xvid)

Use dvdrip for a nice GUI to transcode. dvdrip needs a DVD image (vob files)
