Feature Request: XML for DVDAuthor

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

A nice-to-have feature would be a possibility to mark chapters and export them 
to a file. The best way should be the well-supported XML-structure used by 
DVDAuthor.

I've got a small example how DVBCut uses this:

<dvdauthor dest="this_is_a_test">
  <vmgm />
  <titleset>
    <titles>
      <pgc>
        <vob file="this_is_a_test.mpg" chapters="00:00:00.000,00:16:28.760,00:21:54.320,00:32:38.720" />
      </pgc>
    </titles>
  </titleset>
</dvdauthor>

A full documentation is avaible here:

Thank you in advance!

This would be a useful feature and can be done since the docs are available, 
but will not unfortunately make it into next version.

files I got errors. I'm leaving this for now and will attepmt again in the 
future.

I'm marking this WontFix. I have decided that DVD creation is not in the scope 
of the project.
