Creating DVDs from DIVX (or Any Type of Video)

Tools required

FFMPEG: http://www.ffmpeg.org/ (Win32 build http://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html)

Three step process

Updating the files below requires minimal technically saavy. Modify each batch file in the section

Create an MPEG video from an FFMPEG-supported video

Creates a file in directory %OUTDIR% with name as "file name only".mpg.

Create an MPEG video with subtitles from an existing MPEG video

Creates a file in directory %OUTDIR% with name as "file name and extension only".mpg.

spumux2mpg.bat

Create a DVD filesystem from an existing MPEG video

Creates directory %OUTDIR%\"file name only".

dvdauthor2dvd.bat

Putting it all together

I've combined the three steps above into a single batch file. I've hardcoded all the directories into the files because I know exactly where the output of each program is created. It's not portable, but works for me.
