Hi Tony, I think the 'no default video format' problem can be solved:
Set the launch button for QDVDAuthor like this: /*export VIDEO_FORMAT=NTSC; qdvdauthor*/ That is to say, when you start Qdvdauthor, you have to do it with the complete line as above. (Change ntsc into pal as you wish). Hopefully this works. Jurgen P.s.: Please reply to the group as well. That way your questions will archived for future users.
