I recently started using tovid again and it seems to be having a lot of problems with the programs it uses. The last time I used it was in November and all worked well.

First there was a problem with libGL.so.1, it didn't seem to be on my system. ldd `which mplayer` said it wasn't found. After making a link (which I'm not sure is the correct fix) /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 now links to the /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so file. This got me a little further with tovid.

Second tovid now complains when it runs mplayer.  The error is:
    The fontconfig option can't be used in a config file.
    Error parsing option fontconfig=1 at line 132
    Warning unknown option subfont-osd-scale at line 133
    Warning unknown option subfont-text-scale at line 134

The /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf file has fontconfig=1 in it. If I leave this value tovid's mplayer command fails and if I use mplayer for something else it doesn't work. If I comment out fontconfig=1 the tovid mplayer command hangs, but then I can use mplayer to play videos.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
dave


It's the truetype USE variable that is causing problems. When mplayer is built with truetype the errors above occur, without truetype tovid's call to mplayer hangs. The last message is Checking <file.mpeg> for compliance...
