> Just a quick and dirty email in the aim of showing off the latest and greatest 
> version of any2dvd-0.32 -> http://any2dvd.sf.net
> 
> Any2dvd will batch convert ANY PC multimedia video file(s) or network 
> stream(s) into DVD format and automatically create what I hope is an 
> attractive set of DVD menus.

> * Supported file formats:
> 	.AVI, .MPEG, .WMV, .MOV, .ASF, .NUV (MythTV), .MKV, .OGM, .BIN 
> (S)VCD, .SWF, .NSV, .RM, .RAM, .ASX, .TS, .DV (Video Camera), .3GP (Mobile 
> Phone), .VP6 (Video only), .VP3 (Theora), .MP4, .VOB

> It has the added functionality of extra audio and subtitle processing and all 
> DVD audio formats are supported (MP2, DTS, AC3, PCM16, PCM24).
> It can convert standard mono or stereo audio tracks into 5.1 surround sound 
> (this is the default).
> 
> DVD menus can be animated by way of grabbing frames from the clips to be 
> included on the DVD, and the background graphics and music/audio are fully 
> configurable.
> 
> A preview mode can be enabled so that the video can be watched as it is being 
> encoded in either X11 or on a console (X11 is not required).
> 
> The Any2dvd core package contains two bash scripts:
> Any2vob - takes care of video/audio conversion and processing
> Any2dvd - automatically creates the DVD menus, DVD iso and/or burns to DVD
> 
> Included in the tarball is a simple batch processing script called 
> any2windows_video, which will encode any multimedia file(s) into a format 
> that can be played on any Windows box without the need for there to be extra 
> codecs or ddshow filters installed.
> 
> Hope some find it useful, and don't hesitate to report any bugs if you do use 
> it.
> For Gentoo users, an ebuild can be found here ->
