TOVID, like other helpers of this kind in the convert-my-media universe, is more a set of scripts that sets the basic ffmpeg or mencoder to work - as such, when code/useage changes in the softs, the script usually lags behind and keeps passing wrong parameters (obsolete) to the soft; writing this as of 06/2011, I am still facing a 5.1 vs 5:1 bug that dates back all the way from 2010...
[jarch@DC266 ~]$ tovid --version 0.33 [jarch@DC266 ~]$ date Sun Jun 19 12:14:11 CEST 2011

THIS WON'T WORK:
[jarch@DC266 ~]$ tovid mpg -in /home/jarch/Desktop/MIIB/MIIB.mp4 -out MIIB -dvd -pal -wide -subtitles /home/jarch/Desktop/MIIB/MIIB.srt or [jarch@DC266 ~]$ tovid mpg -in MIIB.mp4 -subtitles MIIB.srt -out MIIB
tovid will crash because it can't assume the sound conversion with some files format, so try this in case of failure:
converting to mpg first
using ffmeg instead because tovid is passing wrong parameters to ffmpeg (namely, the -ac 2 part:
[jarch@DC266 MIIB]$ ffmpeg -i MIIB.mp4 -target pal-dvd output.mpg
If you need subtitles hardcoded, then you can go from your new file, rebuild (STUPID! LONG! TIME-WASTER!) an mpg with subs in:
[jarch@DC266 MIIB]$ tovid mpg -in output.mpg -subtitles MIIB.srt -pal -out MIIB
A more clever way would probably to study the whole .xml monkey-ry to be able to just put the .srt file alongside with proper declarations; the tutorial on the Arch dvdauthor wiki isn't half bad; the tovid wiki is useful for more basic stuff
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Convert_any_Movie_to_DVD_Video#The_Subtitles http://tovid.wikia.com/wiki/Making_a_basic_DVD http://tovid.wikia.com/wiki/Making_a_DVD_with_text_menus
THEN:
[jarch@DC266 ~]$ tovid xml /mnt/raid/video/MIIB/MIIB.mpg -out MyDisc
[jarch@DC266 MIIB]$ export VIDEO_FORMAT=PAL
[jarch@DC266 MIIB]$ dvdauthor -x "/mnt/raid/video/MIIB/MyDisc.xml"
you'll end up with the proper AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS full of .BUP, IFO and VOB files - either burn them with
$ tovid dvd -burn MyDisc.xml
Or just use brasero/k3b
don't ask:
export VIDEO_FORMAT=PAL
could probably be declared in .bashrc or somewhere, I forgot. Otherwise dvdauthor fails with ERR: no video format specified for VMG see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Convert_any_Movie_to_DVD_Video
