dvdunauthor. I would use it to extract the data off of the dvd, then use the guts of dvd9to5 to resize the movie, then dvdauthor to remaster. However, dvdunauthor is new and doesn't produce stable results last I checked. okay, dammit. I went and looked at dvdauthor. Latest stable is 0.5.0, masked is 0.6.10. I'm merging 0.6.10 now. I suppose I'll make an ebuild for dvd9to5 first, then tackle dvdunauthor... nag, nag, nag :) Not to mention I also looked at when I released 0.1.7, 06Jun2004. It's about time for an update. ;) Cooper. -- [email protected] mailing list
