[Cin] From DV to MPG to DVD Video + PCM Audio

[Terje J. Hanssen]

I want to showcase this procedure using alternative tools, and in case 
this sooner or later can be of some use for Creating DVD with CinGG..

    *1. From DV Video w/native LPCM to DVD-compliant MPG using  FFMpeg
    (version 4.4.4 on Leap 15.5)
    2. From MPG w/o re-encoding to DVD structure and iso using DeVeDeNG
    (version 4.17.0 from packman)
    3. Burn DVD iso with K3b from DeVeDe (or optional using Xorriso etc) *


So far step 3 is not tested yet.
Playback of the final mpg movie is tested with VLC and FFplay - not real 
tested with DVD disc in standalone players.

*2. From MPG w/o re-encoding to DVD structure and iso using DeVeDeNG*

    /usr/bin/devede_ng.py

    DeVeDeNG GUI menu
    <Video DVD>
    <Add File>: dv01_03+pcm_dvd.mpg
    Check <dv01_03+pcm_dvd.mpg>
    <Properties>

    <Misc>  on next subwindow and check (important):
    **This file is already a DVD/xCD-suitable MPEG-PS file*
    *Keep default: Use a GOP of 12 frames (improves compatibility)

    Optional:
    <General>  chapters 'a 5 min is default etc
    <Preview> 60 sec opens in VLC (w/Audio)

    <Use>
    <Further>


--------------------------------

*The DVD tree structure and iso are generated quick and easy, so I 
expect there was no re-encoding of the MPG input file, possibly 
re-packaging.*
