I just finished the latest issue of Linux Journal. The article on DVD authoring caught my eye, of course. It covers territory similar to what I’ve been doing, but nothing new. I was hoping they’d mention a project to automate adding either captions or subtitles, but no luck. BTW, I’ve yet to evaluate submux-dvd and xste, two tools that might help with this. More on this soon.
Also in this issue, there was an article on transcoding, which was something I’d heard of, but was unfamiliar with. It’s the process of transferring a video in one format to another. For example, converting the MPEG-2 format found on DVDs to MPEG-4, which can compress the stream enough to fit on CD-R disks, which are more easily produced and at less cost. Interesting, but not where I’m going.
