Unfortunatly steelrose yes it is I have tried to contact the author a few times to no avail. I even offered my limited services to help out but got no responces. Pitty because this had potential.

[steelrose]

Unfortunely . I hope someone can continue working on this project.This had potential.I discovered other ways to create kvcd in linux but this one was automated.It didn't require any knowledge in video editing.Anyway i hope one day we will see an automation vcd creation software in linux

[mirko_3]

if the project really is dead, that's too bad! anyway, can anyone tell me how to stop myvcd from creating 3 bin/cues instead of only one? I'm using -quality best -svcdout as options....
thanks!

[wormfishin]

just a thought, but how big are the files? Could the file be so large it requires 2 cds? I'm assuming you've since given up since it's been so long without a reply

[mirko_3]

Yeah, I've stopped using myvcd and am now happily using transcode with help gotten from the dvd authoring howto in these forums... much more flexible. Thanks for the reply anyway though!

How do I encode from a directory containing the same contents as a DVD? (*.BUPs, *.VOBs, and *.IFOs). ??

Any Ideas?

I've been hosting the tar file of this code for the last several years, I am moving the file on my server, It get a few hits still so I figured I would post the new link http://s87461889.onlinehome.us/myvcd-dist.tar

Is anyone activly using this?

[SnEptUne]

I am using this script, but the script need to be updated. Mplayer doesn't use -dvd, -pcm, or -waveheader anymore. I have updated the script, but I don't want to post my script from using my personal web host. Would you like me to email you the copy?

Sure I will host the file, send it to n--i--c--k--a--t--w--o--r--m--f--i--s--h--i--n--dot--c--o--m, obviously without the dashes. Thanks!

[SnEptUne]

Do you want the diff file or the full script? I didn't really change script much, I only add the option to parse the -dvd option as dvd:// and changed the mplayer options.

[wormfishin]

Go ahead and send the entire script, I will leave the old one and post the new as well.

[SnEptUne]

okay, I have sent you the email. It is nick@ right?
