You have some capture tips, after capture you might want to try |
29 |
any2vob/any2dvd. Developed on gentoo but AFAIK no official ebuilds. |
30 |
|
31 |
Search any2vob on forums.gentoo.org for a very extensive thread on its |
32 |
use. any2vob turns almost any video file into a dvd compliant .vob file. |
33 |
|
34 |
any2dvd leverages any2vob and then creates a DVD iso with menus, |
35 |
chapters at predefined intervals etc. |
36 |
|
37 |
The home page is un-preposessing, but the program works well: |

Go up a dir and there is some documentation and the author's own |
41 |
ebuilds which you can add to your overlay. |
