The tovid suite, also known simply as tovid, is a collection of shell and Python scripts for creating DVDs and (S)VCDs. tovid is properly spelt with a lowercase 't' (despite what some wiki-page headings might say), to emphasize its scripty nature. It is pronounced "to vid" (because it converts to video disc formats).

tovid is also the name of the primary executable script in the suite. Several other scripts are included, but they are hidden from view, outside of your system $PATH--all of them are intended to be called via the main tovid script, by passing the name of a command like mpg, disc, or menu. You can run tovid without any arguments to see a list of them, or use man tovid to read their documentation.
