sorry, maybe i should be more specific
i've writtin a script to automate the process of converting multiple sequentially numbered avi files to MPG with mencoder and ffmpeg (yes i know usually just ffmpeg should work but i have encountered instances where it doesnt, however i havnt failed with mencoder then ffmpeg and on a quad core phenom the extra amount of time for mencoder at like 300 some fps is negligible), at the same time echos out the necessary XML info for dvdauthor into a dvdauthor.xml file then images the dvd with dvdauthor once the conversion process finishes, once the image mastering process is finished it burns the disk
however i would like to further the automation by having it get to the point where it finishes burning the disc, then starts then goes into a wait state until a new blank is inserted (perhaps by querying the status of the drive using cdrecord and if the disc is not blank or there is no disc in the drive), enter an infinite loop that queries the drive every few seconds UNTIL a blank is inserted then starts the next set, etc... until it runs out of avi files.
