Re: Creating an Audio only DVD from several CD's

2010-08-12 Thread linux
Hello,

just to summarize the steps I followed (and so that there is no
misunderstanding) I have put up this little shellscript which takes as
argument the directory with all the wav files you'd like to put on the
DVD-Video and makes a DVD from that with some photo in jpeg format as
display.

I found this site quite helpful:

http://radagast.bglug.ca/linux/dvd_authoring/dvd_authoring.html

I am not yet an expert at the xml file for dvdauthor (remember to use
dvdauthor for video dvd, not dvda-author), so I just made my tracks in
one row like this: (one  per audiotrack).

About subdiretories I have yet to gather some more information or read
more indepth the website I gave you at the beginning of this message.

There is another software called dvdstyler which might be in fedora (I
myself use gentoo linux). It is a GUI but I think in the long run it
is better to know about the xml syntax, also in combination with dvd
menus. But if you want to quickly design a dvd, I think dvdstyler is
superior.

I am a professional musician and my plan is to make DVDs which on the
TV display some information on me, the composer and maybe photos of
pianos and from the composers life. I might in the long run try to
compose visually more interesting still images containing such
information with the povray software. That's still a long way to go.

 Hello,

 Well, my steps to make a Video-DVD containing mainly audio are as
 follows:

 $>ffmpeg -loop_input -t 2000 -i display.jpg -i 1.wav -r 44100 -target 
 pal-dvd -aspect 4:3 1.mpg
 $>ffmpeg -loop_input -t 2000 -i display.jpg -i 2.wav -r 44100 -target 
 pal-dvd -aspect 4:3 2.mpg
 $>dvdauthor -o testdvd -x dvd.xml
 $>cat dvd.xml
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 EOF
 $>growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 -dvd-video testdvd/

 The resulting DVD+RW (as I said before, I am having strange problems
 creating DVD+R but no problems with DVD+RW) plays on vlc as well as on
 my Denon DVD-player.

 Leaving out the video encoding doesn't seem to work, so I gave a photo
 as a loop input into ffmpeg.

 However, it seems as if by the point all the audio has been encoded,
 in ffmpeg's display the frame number keeps rising, but the size of the
 resulting mpg file does not increase anymore. I need to press q to
 stop ffmpeg encoding, and then I need to give it a shell interrupt
 because it does not react anymore.

 Surely there must be an option which I have missed on the command line
 of ffmpeg to tell it to stop loop_encoding the photo when the end of
 the audio is reached. I might have to ask this on the ffmpeg mailing
 list.

 Regards,

 Gabriel

I have some success with burning a data dvd with wav files.

Most players will see the wav files and play them. That way you are not 
limited to time ( length of time on dvd ) and only limited to size.

You can get quite a bit on a dvd.

Try it with your deck.

I have no problem with mine but it will play mp3 audio so it is able to 
pick up files.
So give that a try and make a Data DVD with wav files.

 KdEnlive can do that?

Does that not have to do with what wodim or cdrecord or dvdrecord
do in order to pad the audio track to be a multiple of 2352 bytes?
The silence could be that padding.

I am waiting for your reply to my question re: the xml file content.
How many image file entries do I have to have when I have 36 total tracks
distributed unevenly in 4 dirs under the dir dvd.out?

How many
vob files do I need? One per track?
I have 36 tracks (wav files).
Also, I am using the -i option to dvda-author.
The directory dvd.out has 4 dirs:
d1, d2, d3, d4
each d# has roughly 6 to 11 tracks

Well, you have to put the -shortest option to ffmpeg, then it works
fine. I asked on the ffmpeg list.  Although I still have the
impression that the video is slightly longer than the original
soundtrack, there is something added to the end of the file where
there is no sound anymore, but still video.

Somebody else on that list suggested:

"what if you knew the trt of your wav - which you must know , ie: it
is 5 min long , -t 5

ffmpeg -loop_input -i display.jpg -t 00:05:00:00 -i 1.wav -r 44100
-target pal-dvd -aspect 4:3 1.mpg"

I haven't tried that yet.

If you just want to have audio on the dvd, I think you cannot leave
out video, but maybe you can just add a blank screen as video.

Tell me about your results.

Thank you Gabriel.
I have seen similar behavior to ffmpeg in ffplay - it just will not stop 
after the audio has been played.
Guess the program writer(s) were not looking for EOF? :) :)

Hello,

Well, my steps to make a Video-DVD containing mainly audio are as
follows:

$> ffmpeg -loop_input -t 2000 -i display.jpg -i 1.wav -r 44100 -target pal-dvd 
-aspect 4:3 1.mpg
$> ffmpeg -loop_input -t 2000 -i display.jpg -i 2.wav -r 44100 -target pal-dvd 
-aspect 4:3 2.mpg
$> dvdauthor -o testdvd -x dvd.xml
$> cat dvd.xml











EOF 
$> growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 -dvd-video testdvd/

The resulting DVD+RW (as I said before, I am having strange problems
creating DVD+R but no problems with DVD+RW) plays on vlc as well as on
my Denon DVD-player. 

Leaving out the video encoding doesn't seem to work, so I gave a photo
as a loop input into ffmpeg. 

However, it seems as if by the point all the audio has been encoded,
in ffmpeg's display the frame number keeps rising, but the size of the
resulting mpg file does not increase anymore. I need to press q to
stop ffmpeg encoding, and then I need to give it a shell interrupt
because it does not react anymore. 

Surely there must be an option which I have missed on the command line
of ffmpeg to tell it to stop loop_encoding the photo when the end of
the audio is reached. I might have to ask this on the ffmpeg mailing
list. 

Regards, 

Gabriel

Though, more expensive than discs, but can have a bigger capacity.

If you were distributing files, you'd have to find out what media and
file formats your recipients could handle, and want.  Flac ought to be
acceptable, but I'd still check.  Even WAV can be a problem, depending
on the bitrate that you use.

You probably want FLAC (and memory sticks are easier than discs!). FLAC
will happily carry multi-channel audio in lossless format, and can handle
things like multi-channel audio, 96KHz (it'll do 500KHz if you are
recording music for bats ;) )

I will try out using command line dvd-author...

I, as a professional musician myself, was wondering how I would
publish recording material in an open source friendly way. Today I
have learned that DVD-A is not a solution after all. I probably need
to give out harddisks with recording material or Data DVDs with audio
material recorded at higher sample rates than 48k.

So, how do I create a DVD-Video without the Video, but with only Audio?
KdEnlive can do that?

This is about the only way I could get this to work.

It's a shame but the big problem is the Media companies. Mp3, aac, ogg, 
any of the lossy formats are ok with them but lossless, mo way they make 
it hard. No real support for probably one of the better music 
formats DVD-A.

The work around is DVD-Video with out the video. Use in a 4 hour long 
play and it gets a few cd there (5-6)

Not quite, this would mean adding information to a file which has only

According to

this would be equivalent to CD quality.

 In fact, that worked. I had set the option "auto" in my /etc/fstab and
 mount without the "-t" option recognized the udf filesystem on the
 DVD-A and gave an "unknown filesystem error. The command "mount -t
 iso9660" as well as giving the filesystem type option iso9660 in the
 /etc/fstab-file works fine.

 How to play a DVD-A on the linux computer remains yet a mistery to me,
 however. Hope we'll find out soon.

Good solution Rick!
My 2007 Camry does not have a USB port,
nor a tape player - only a CD player. That's
the factory thing.
Hmmm... I will talk to the Toyota dealer to see
if they have an adapter. I do not want to gut out
the factory stuff and put in an aftermarket.

As I have some old cars myself (67 Jag 340 and a 70 Jag E-Type), I was
faced with a similar problem.  My CD collection has been ripped to my
system at home, so I have MP3s (and other versions of the same stuff 
using different codecs) out the wazoo.

In my E-Type I use an iPod or other MP3 player and an FM transmitter
(which does double-duty being used with my portable XM receiver).  It's
not ideal, but the E-Type is a noisy car anyway, being a roadster and
all.

I put a new radio into the 340 that has both a USB and an aux input.
I can plug the iPod or other USB player into the USB.  The radio can
deal with a VFAT-formatted USB flash drive, so I put a bunch of CD
content on an 8GB flash.  Plug it in and go.  The XM plugs into the aux
input.  I like this radio.  I may replace the one in the E-Type with
one of these.

it seems that the analog output of my Denon DVD-A-Player wouldn't give
you a higher sample-rate than 48kHz anyway, because anything above
that would require encryption on the part of any other equipment,
which I don't have.

But dvda-author has no way of re-encoding the audio files at 192k
My audio files on the hard drive are in wav format, which ffmpeg says
the bit rate is  1411 kb/s
which is huge (1.411 megabits/s).

Please keep me posted on your effort. If it works, ... I will be busy 
recording :)

Maybe a solution to this would be to put the wav files on a Video-DVD
and leave the video directory empty. This would however only give you
a sample rate of 48000 Hz instead of up to 192000 Hz as specified for
a DVD-A. But then at least you could play the DVD on most any
DVD-player. I am going to try that tomorrow.

That is really sad!
I had hoped to pack several CD's per DVD so I could play them
in my car's dvd player.
OK, so my next attempt is to create an mp3 dvd - but oh.. wait!
my car's dvd player is not mp3 capable either.

Unless your computer's DVD drive supports DVD-A, you're stuck.  The
drive must support DVD-A internally.  The audio on DVD-A is not the
same as the audio tracks on a DVD.  Totally different beast (different,
lossless encoders used, higher bitrates, etc.).  It's similar to trying
to play an SACD on a non-SACD-compatible drive.

AFAIK, there are very few internal DVD-A drives available.  You could
wire your Denon into the line inputs of your sound card, but I'm sure
you thought of that.

The mkisofs manual states that UDF is alpha at this time and that you
cannot create UDF-only images.  The UDF data is coupled to the Joliet
structures.  Consequently you can't mount it as a UDF filesystem.
You must mount it as iso9660 or other Joliet-compatible system.

In fact, that worked. I had set the option "auto" in my /etc/fstab and
mount without the "-t" option recognized the udf filesystem on the
DVD-A and gave an "unknown filesystem error. The command "mount -t
iso9660" as well as giving the filesystem type option iso9660 in the
/etc/fstab-file works fine.

How to play a DVD-A on the linux computer remains yet a mistery to me,
however. Hope we'll find out soon.

Well, I am coming back to this a bit late, since I had a problem
getting DVD+R to burn on my laptop; it still doesn't work and I filed
a post to the gentoo-users mailing list. 

So I managed to write a DVD-A on a DVD+RW with the following steps:

dvda-author -o DVD -g *.wav
mkisofs -o image.iso -sort sort.txt -udf DVD
growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=image.iso

I followed the howto on:
http://dvd-audio.sourceforge.net/howto.shtml

I do not have the mkisofs patch applied and used the sort file from
that howto.

And on my Denon DVD-1920, an explicit SACD and DVD-A player, it plays
fine.

However, I cannot mount the so-created DVD-A using mount -t udf
/dev/sr0 /mnt/udf; it gives me an "unknown filesystem" error.

For what it's worth, I haven't come across any that do.  I get the
impression that it's really a niche market, like the original laser

I can confirm that my kernel has UDF support:

There is a site on a an open source tool:
http://dvd-audio.sourceforge.net/
They say that not every home dvd player is able to play DVD-Audio.

Since I am also interested in this, I will give it a try during the
next days. I have a Denon 1920, which should support SACD, DVD-Video
and DVD-Audio (it explicitly says so on the cover, so I suppose there
should be some DVD players which don't support DVD Audio). I will try
my result out on that one as well as on xine and/or mplayer.

Maybe you need the UDF file system support from your kernel? At least
that's what is hinted at on the dvd audio site.

Creating an Audio only DVD from several CD's

2010-08-06 Thread JD
  I have ripped several CD's to wave files.
I deliberately numbered the wave tracks
in a sequential order that keeps the order
of play of each original cd.

I then used dvda-author to create the audio dvd directory.
I then used growisofs to burn it to a DVD.

I can mount the resulting DVD and it has the
directories audio_ts/and  video_ts/
Of course the video_ts is empty.
The audio_ts has several triplets of
ats_01_0.bup
ats_01_0.ifo
ats_01_1.aob
ats_02_0.bup
ats_02_0.ifo
ats_03_1.aob
.
.
.
...etc for numbers  ats_4, ats_5, ats_6, ...etc.
and  has the final triplet

audio_pp.ifo
audio_ts.bup
audio_ts.ifo

Problem is I am unable to play it back with any Linux based
media players (xine, mplayer, vlc, ogle, rhythmbox...etc).
Even the home video player does not recognize it as playable
media.

Has anyone successfully done this?

Thank.
