NAME

       mk_vmgm — automated creation of main menu of the DVD (VMGM)

SYNOPSIS

       mk_vmgm [options]

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_vmgm, which create main menu of the DVD (VMGM) for authoring a DVD with
       dvdauthor.
