Hi list,
when recently recording and
burning some music programs via VDR and the burn plugin I wondered if it would
be possible to interprete remaining recording marks as DVD
chapters.
I tried an extended version of the plugin which I
found somewhere in the vdr-portal. As far as I could see chapters are neither
supported nor in plan.
Because it did not work at all I switched back to
the original version and played a little bit today.
After reading the dvdauthor manpage I recognized
that I do not need titles (tracks) but chapters to have song-skipping
functionality in a consumer DVD player. I then saw that it is done
relativly easy in the XML configuration and modified the burn plugin
sources.
I tested this with a Tom Petty concert at deleted
the cutting marks and placed new marks before every song. To my surprise all
modifications worked correctly and I have chapters on the DVD and can skip
between songs.
If someone is interested in this feature I could
create a patch. Maybe the feature can be integrated into the plugin but a bit
more testing ist required I think
Best regards
Peter
