Title-specific options

-i | --info filename
Points to a text file containing description and the like for the movie.
-ms | --vtsmsound filename

EXAMPLES

Every new -t creates a new titleset on the DVD. Subsequent options -c, -b, -a, -ar and mpeg-file(s) apply only to that titleset. To create a DVD with two titlesets and a special background, use for example:
dvdwizard -t auto -c 30 title1.mpg \

          -t auto -b bckgrnd.ppm title2.mpg

BASEDIR defaults to the current directory if not stated otherwise in the config file (either default ~/.dvdwizard/dvdwizard.conf or specified with the -C option).
