[VCDImager] Announce: Vcdmeta 0.10

[Kevin Atkinson]

The first version of Vcdmeta in now available at
http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org/vcdmeta/.

Vcdmeta is a Perl script which makes creating easy to navigate VCD
extremely simple. It takes in a simplified XML documents which simply
contains a list of the Videos you want to include and how you want them to
be arranged. From that it will output a XML document suitable for use with
vcdimager complete with easy to navigate menus. A text file "0VCDINDX.TXT"  
is also created which contains the complete contents of the CD for easy
navigations when reading the VCD on a computer without VCD menu support.  
If images are not provided for the menus it will create the menus for you.

So far vcdmeta has only been testing on Linux but it should work on any
Unix like operating system. It should also work on Windows provided the
right Perl modules are installed, but it will take a little effort.  
Since mjpegtools has not been ported to Windows you will at very least
need to substitute the mjpegtools (and possible the netpbm) utilities with
something that will work on windows.  See the manual for the complete list
of perl modules and utilities required.

Please try it out and let me know what you think.  I can be reached at
