Command-line DVD encoding tool?

[SpectrumDT]

Hello.

I need to convert a lot of AVI files to DVD format. As such, I would like a command line program for converting them, so I can automate the process and circumvent some cumbersome GUI.

Currently I am using Avidemux2, which works from the command line. But Avidemux suffers from a nasty problem where the audio is very often thrown out of synch with the video, and I haven't been able to find an understandable solution to this problem.

I have tried Devede instead. It seems to be free of the synch problem, but the GUI of Devede is extremely cumbersome and requires huge amounts of clicks per file. (For example, it doesn't even remember the last directory I was in, forcing me to browse to the right folder for every single file.) Can I run Devede from the command line? If so, can anyone link me to some documentation of how to do this?

And what other alternatives are there out there? Can anyone recommend some?

Thanks in advance.

I recommend videotrans. I have used it in the past with good results.

Videotrans

videotrans is a set of scripts that allow its user to reformat existing movies into the VOB format that is used on DVDs.

Furthermore, videotrans supplies programs which allow its user to create a complete DVD, including selection menus which allow the viewer to choose which movie he/she wants to see, if more than one movie fits onto a DVD.
