Hey, how difficult do you think it would be to build a
GUI around this?
I have a Sourceforge project for DVD authoring called Polidori (based
on dvdauthor) that has kinda floundered but maybe this will be the thing
to kick it back into gear. The building of the DVD image is already in
the project, it's mainly a matter of building the audio portion using
your tool instead of using dvdauthor.
It shouldn't be difficult at all. At the moment, I am only
concentrating on the audio-only parts of the DVD-Audio standard. So the
GUI simply needs to give the user a way of selecting WAV files, and
organising them into up to 9 "groups", each of up to 99 tracks (but
dvda-author currently only supports a single group).
My plan is to write a simple GUI version of dvda-author (sharing the
same code as the command-line version) using the cross-platform
wxWindows toolkit - so Mac and Windows users could also use it.
However, once I start to investigate the video-oriented parts of the
DVD-Audio standard, and the ability to link video titlesets (in the
VIDEO_TS directory) from the Audio Manager (AMG - in the AUDIO_TS
directory), then a more complicated and video-oriented GUI would be needed.
So any help in that direction would be very useful.
