DVD-AUDIO/VIDEO (hybrid) discs from .wav, .flac, .oga and SoX-supported audio
formats.
OPTIONS
GENERAL OPTIONS
--help , -h Diplay this help.
--version , -v Diplay version.
--quiet , -q Quiet mode.
--debug , -d Verbose mode (debugging level).
--pause , -P Insert a final pause before exiting.
--pause0 , -P0 Suppresses any final pause before exiting.
--log , -l Ouput a log to filepath.
--startsector NNN, -p Sets startsector=NNN. If NNN=0, startsector takes default value 281. By default, startsector is automatically computed.
- AUDIO INPUT/OUTPUT OPTIONS
- --extract , -x disc[list]
Extract all the DVD-Audio disc in argument.
Combined with -o dir or --output dir, extract to dir/g1, dir/g2, etc., with
gN containing tracks for titleset number N. An optional comma-separated
list may be appended to disc path to restrict extraction to titlesets
enumerated in the list.
- -g
You may specify up to 9 groups of tracks. Minimum: one group.
- Enter full path to files if input directory is not set by [-i].
- -g and -i can be combined.
- --input , -i
Input directory with audio files.
- Each subdirectory is a group.
- --output , -o
Output directory.
- Paths can be separated by either \ or /
- --sox , -S
Convert audio files with SoX.
- --fixwav , -F
Use .wav file repair utility.
Sub-options for fixwav are:
simple-mode
- Deactivate default automatic mode and advanced options.
- User will be asked for more information.
prepend
- Prepend header to raw file
in-place
- Correct header in the original file (not advised)
interactive
- Request information from user.
padding
- Pad files according to WAV standard
(advised if prune is not used)
padding and prune are incompatible options.
prune
- Cut off silence at end of files
output=sf
- Copy corrected file to new filepath
with string suffix sf
Sub-options should be separated by commas and
appended to -f/-F or --fixwav(-virtual)
- without any whitespace in between them.
- Example: --fixwavsimple-mode,prepend,interactive,output=new
- --fixwav-virtual , -f
Use .wav header repair utility without any write operation.
- Among the above sub-options, only `interactive` and `simple-mode` can be used.
- --no-padding , -0
Block padding of audio files by dvda-author.
- This option is complementary to fixwav sub-option padding.
- LINKING OPTIONS
- --videodir , -V
Path to VIDEO_TS directory
- --videolink , -T
Rank of video titleset linked to in video zone (XX in VTS_XX_0.I FO)
- In this case the path to the VIDEO_TS linked to must be indicated.
- --no-videozone , -n
Do not generate an empty VIDEO_TS directory.
- --rights , -w
Access rights (octal)
- --PTS-factor , -U (-)x
Add x 10E-2 seconds to PTS ticks (-x to substract).
Supported audio types: .wav, .flac, .oga (Ogg FLAC, if built with Ogg FLAC support)
and SoX-supported formats (if built with SoX support).
There must be a maximum of 9 audio groups.
Each subdirectory of an audio input directory will contain titles for a separate audio group.
A number between 1 and 9 must be included as the second character of the subdirectory's relative name.
Full Input/Output paths must be specified.
EXAMPLES
-creates a 3-group DVD-Audio disc (legacy syntax):
- dvda-author -g file1.wav file2.flac -g file3.flac -g file4.wav
-creates a hybrid DVD disc with both AUDIO_TS mirroring
audio_input_directory and VIDEO_TS imported from directory VID, outputs disc
structure to directory DVD_HYBRID and links video titleset #2 of VIDEO_TS to
AUDIO_TS:
- dvda-author -i ~/audio/audio_input_directory -o
DVD_HYBRID -V ~/Video/VID -T 2
Both types of constructions can be combined.
-creates an audio folder from an existing DVD-Audio disc:
dvda-author --extract /media/cdrom0,1,3,5,6,7 -o dir
will extract titlesets 1,3,5,6,7 of the disc to dir/g1, dir/g3, dir/g5,
dir/g6, dir/g7 respectively.
