- This is GNU VCDImager, the GNU (Super)VideoCD authoring solution for
- mastering, extracting and analyzing Video CDs and Super Video CDs.
-
- This package contains 'vcdimager', an image authoring tool, and
- 'vcdrip', a VideoCD ripping tool. 'vcdrip' can be used to rip mpeg
- streams from VideoCD images and to show VideoCD information about the
- image. Furthermore, 3 XML based tools have been added recently:
-
- 1) vcdxgen - a xml description generator, with an interface similiar
- to the classic vcdimager frontend.
-
- 2) vcdxbuild - the image builder, which takes a xml description (and
- the files referenced within) for the to be built image.
-
- 3) vcdxrip - the vcd extraction tool. this tool completes the cycle by
- giving the possibility to extract the (s)vcd structure of an cd image,
- and give back a xml description + mpeg items of it.
-
- For simple PBC-less VCDs the classic 'vcdimager' tool will be enough,
- but if advanced VCD features are needed, like menues, playlists,
- additional entry points, auto pause points and so on, the XML based
- tools are required to make use of. Examples and more information about
- the XML structure will be added on http://www.hvrlab.org/~hvr/vcdimager/
