I've been using Adobeman's DVD-A creation batch files in Windows for a while now, and they work really well. (Thanks, Adobeman!) But I'm trying to get away from Microsoft as much as possible these days, so I finally got off my lazy butt and worked out some shell scripts for Linux that duplicate the basic functions of Adobeman's Windows utility. I'm happy to share them.

I have one script that builds and burns a DVD-A from .wav files, and another that creates a random-play DVD-A from an Amarok-generated .m3u playlist.

You can download them here:

http://www.dwasifar.com/DVD-A_Linux.tar.gz

The tarball contains the scripts, a readme with instructions, a necessary configuration file, and the required dvda-author package (source code and a .deb file).

They should pretty much work on any Debian-based distro with little or no modification, and I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be useful on other types of distro too, though I have only tested them in Ubuntu.

Please let me know if you find them useful.

Fellow Linux users... thanks for sharing the love

Oh, and now there's a third, that creates a DVD-A from an Amarok-generated playlist WITHOUT randomizing. I figured maybe people might want that too, huh?

It surprises me that there are not more people interested in this. Surely there can't just be two Linux users on the entire Acurazine TL forum.

HiTEC

Haha! Looks like it's just us two.

dwasifar

Very surprising.

Do the scripts work for you?
