However, it doesn’t provide a convenient way for drawing the menu background and buttons. We present dvdmenuauthor, a collection of scripts for automated DVD authoring with menus. dvdmenuauthor uses pdfLATEX macros for menu composition, Xpdf for menu rendering, and dvdauthor for DVD filesystem authoring. 1 Background Popular reasons for adding menus to a DVD: DVD-Video [8] is today’s most popular home enter- • DVD menus are a good quality addon for Holly- tainment video format.

Brasero permet de graver des CD et DVD de données et audio de façon simple et intuitive. Brasero supporte mal les DVD enregistrables et réinscriptibles. En effet, le DVD gravé n'est plus reconnu et Brasero peut échouer à la fin de la gravure voire planter en cours de route rendant le DVD inutilisable. Le basculement vers l'application Xfburn (dans Xfce) ou K3B (dans KDE) est recommandé pour graver des DVD Pour éviter de « louper » des DVD il vaut mieux désinstaller cette application installée par défaut dans Linux Mint : Pour cela taper la commande : sudo apt purge brasero 2/8 Xfburn La gravure qui nous vient de Xfce !
