NAME

       mk_vmgm — automated creation of titleset menus of the DVD (VTSM)

SYNOPSIS

       mk_vtsm [options] image-file(s)

DESCRIPTION

       DVDwizard  is  a  wrapper-script  which  incorporates a fully automated
       creation of a DVD-structure with chapters and menus from  one  or  more
       mpeg-streams.  This is done by several "sub-scripts" and various freely
       available tools.

       One of these sub-scripts is mk_vtsm, which create one or more  titleset
       menus (VTSM) for authoring a DVD with dvdauthor.

       titleset.
