INSTALL


PREREQUISTES:

- For VDRsync itself, only a Perl Verison > 5.6 with support for large files
- For vdrsync_buffer.pl (on-the-fly conversions), you need Perl with 
  threads support in its 5.8 incarnation, and of course support for large 
  files
- For the creation of DVDs, you need a 
	multiplexer (mplex, tcmplex, tcmplex-panteltje), 
	dvdauthor > 0.53 (or so), and perhaps 
	mkiso.
- If you want DVDs with menus (that works via dvd-menu.pl), you need  
  (Versions are the ones I use):
    GD                      (2.0.15)
    Perl Module GD          (2.0.7)
    Perl Module GDTextUtil  (0.86)
  and
    dvdauthor               (0.6.8)
    transcode with ffmpeg support for mpeg2video  (0.6.11)
    
    That should get you up and running, if not, let me know.
    
    
Instalation:

copy the three script files  to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin:

    cp vdrsync.pl dvd-menu.pl vdrsync_buffer.pl /usr/bin

make sure the permissions are ok:

    chmod 755 /usr/bin/vdrsync.pl /usr/bin/dvd-menu.pl /usr/bin/vdrsync_buffer.pl

If you encounter Problems, check that

- you have perl installed
- the permissions of vdrsync.pl are ok (chmod ugo+x /usr/bin/vdrsync.pl)
- the location of vdrsync.pl really is in your PATH (echo $PATH)

Feedback, Suggestions, Bug-Reports, and Help always welcome

Have Fun
