Okay, found it. My main video was a bit messed up. It was a PAL 720x576 23,9 format and that had to be a frame rate of 25.
Main thing was my multiple audio stream. I noticed that I can not add an extra stream in Qdvdauthor. The stream does simply not get assigned with an extra stream number (1, 2, 3 etc.). This way Qdvdauthor complains about editing the master audio stream and thus not allows it. I injected the two stream manually with Mplex. Furthermore adding subtitles did not went well so I had to do that manual with spumux. In Qdvdauthor I choose a solid colour white, and outline set on 1 color black, and outline transparency on 0 (zero). This resulted in a .png bigger than spumux can handle. In stead I used the following settings: solid colour white, and outline set on 2 colour black, and outline transparency on 25. For some reason this setting worked well. So in the end it turned out not to be an error in the submenu but in the main video. _*For the interested among you:*_ _Mplex your video:_ First save the audio stream separate from the video. For this see this howto: http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=tutorial:converting_to_dvd Than add the streams together with Mplex: mplex -f 8 -o output.m2v video.m2v track-1.mp2 track-2.ac3 Note that you use -f 8 and not -f 9, as -f 8 adds empty VOBU's which you need in Qdvdauthor. _Spumux two subtitle streams:_ export VIDEO_FORMAT=PAL; spumux -s 1 subtitle_0.xml < input.m2v > output-with-first-stream.m2v export VIDEO_FORMAT=PAL; spumux -s 2 subtitle_1.xml < output-with-first-stream.m2v > output-with-two-streams.m2v Note that the first command (export VIDEO_FORMAT=PAL;) must be given in order to tell spumux with what kind of format your working. I am working with Kubuntu so maybe with other distro's this would not be applicable. To make Qdvdvauthor run properly I have to start the application like this: export VIDEO_FORMAT=PAL; qdvdauthor For a further explanation about spumux: http://www.bobdroog.nl/2009/11/13/create-a-dvd-from-mpg-and-add-subtitles-using-spumux-in-bash/ Have fun!
