DVDBuilder SDK
DVDBuilder SDK is a Windows development kit for building DVD authoring into software. Developers describe disc features in XML, including video titles, chapters, menus, subtitles and languages, and can use the API from C++ or.NET languages such as C#, F# and VB. It accepts MPEG-2 program streams, MPEG-2 elementary video streams and VOB files. Audio options include MPEG-2, AC3 and DTS elementary streams, alongside subpicture streams and Spruce STL subtitles. Menus can use still or moving MPEG backgrounds and hold up to 36 buttons each. The SDK outputs a VIDEO_TS directory containing VOB, IFO and BUP files, with NTSC or PAL formats and 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios. It supports up to 99 titles, with multiple chapters per title, and includes AVBlocks; documentation also lists PrimoBurner as included. DVDBuilder does not itself burn DVDs, and using PrimoBurner for that requires a separate license. A DVDBuilder license is needed to use the API; demo mode limits each title to five minutes. Paid access starts at $1,500/yr.
