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.
