DVD authoring scripts

I have recently come into possession of a bunch of xvids that I would like to watch on a DVD player (mainly so I can show my aunt). Since this is my first real foray into the wonderful and incredibly overcomplicated world of DVD video I thought I'd automate everything. Well, that and the amount of time everything takes making it an overnight job...

The first step is to recode the file into MPEG-2 so that a DVD player can understand it. While we're doing this, grab a screenshot for the menu.

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "Please tell me what to recode."
fi

fn=`basename "$1" .avi`

# Convert the file to MPEG-2 for the DVD
if [ ! -f "$fn".m2v ]; then
    transcode -i "$fn".avi -y ffmpeg --export_prof dvd-pal --export_asr 3 \
        -o "$fn" -D0 -b224 -N 0x2000 -s2 -m "$fn".ac3 -J modfps=clonetype=3 \
        --export_fps 25 -w 1800
fi

if [ ! -f "$fn".mpg ]; then
    mplex -f 8 -o "$fn".mpg "$fn".m2v "$fn".ac3
fi

# Extract a screenshot for the menu
ffmpeg -y -i "$fn".mpg -vframes 1 -ss 00:00:05 -an -vcodec png -f rawvideo -s 224x126 "$fn".png

Of course, we need to do this over a whole bunch of files (six of them in the current implementation) and then finish the menu and prepare dvdauthor's input.

labelfilter='s/Series - S..E\(..\) - \(.*\)/\1: \2/'
background=lightgray
title='DVD title'

i=0

# Convert each avi and label the screenshots for the menu
for f in "$@"; do
    fn=`basename "$f" .avi`
    label=`echo $fn | sed "$labelfilter"`
    label=${label##0}
    echo $label
    i=$(($i+1))
    mkmoviepart.sh "$f"
    montage -pointsize 16 -background transparent -label "$label" "$fn".png \
        -geometry "1x1+0+0<" menu_$i.png
done

# Assemble images into menu background
convert -size 720x576 -density 75x80 xc:$background -pointsize 50 \
    -draw "gravity Center text 0,-220 '$title'" \
    -draw "image over  12,150 0,0 'menu_1.png'" \
    -draw "image over 248,150 0,0 'menu_2.png'" \
    -draw "image over 484,150 0,0 'menu_3.png'" \
    -draw "image over  12,360 0,0 'menu_4.png'" \
    -draw "image over 248,360 0,0 'menu_5.png'" \
    -draw "image over 484,360 0,0 'menu_6.png'" \
    menu.jpg

# Build the rest of the menu
function mkframes() {
    colour=$1
    name=$2
    convert -size 720x576 -density 75x80 xc:transparent \
        -stroke $colour -strokewidth 4 -fill transparent \
        -draw "rectangle  12,150 236,276" \
        -draw "rectangle 248,150 472,276" \
        -draw "rectangle 484,150 708,276" \
        -draw "rectangle  12,360 236,486" \
        -draw "rectangle 248,360 472,486" \
        -draw "rectangle 484,360 708,486" \

Thanks muchly to shiznix and the Gentoo forums for pointing me in several of the right directions.
