Sorry Mary. That's bad news. I like ManDVD a lot. Regards, Patrick 2. Re: DVD slideshow creation (Mary Gardiner) Mary Gardiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:20:35 +1000 Thanks. It unfortunately depends on dvd-slideshow as most other graphical apps do, and therefore is broken in Ubuntu hardy (and when not broken would produce the ugliest text imaginable, as far as I can tell). -Mary -- Registered GNU/Linux User 368634 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Hi Mary, Another app you can try is ManDVD http://www.getdeb.net/app/ManDVD This also makes very groovy DVD menus etc. Weirdly, I cannot find the app at: www.kde-apps.org where it normally is. I'm not sure what's happening. Another way (unless you're already au fai with this) is to use Kino to create an mpeg and then create a DVD from that...people can pause on what they wish - but of course they can't select the order in which they'd like to see images. That said, ManDVD creates some very nice DVDs. HTH. Regards, Patrick Mary Gardiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sat, 12 Apr 2008 12:44:38 +1000 Hi all, Is there any mature-ish DVD creation software for Linux that does not depend on dvd-slideshow? Problems with dvd-slideshow: 1. it needs to be patched on Ubuntu to actually work with current versions of ffmpeg and sox (oh for the benefit of people coming in from Google it's got a missing dependency on at least libsox-fmt-sndfile and possibly other libsox-fmt-* files) -Mary -- Registered GNU/Linux User 368634 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Looks like the way to do it is to drop down a level and use dvdauthor directly, which has the nice side effect that if the menus are awful looking it's all my fault. How to do it involves interleaving information from http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6953 (older, but handy) and http://en.dahnielson.com/2003/12/dvd-author-primer.html Once I fix all the woeful anti-aliasing in dvd-slideshow, it's probably OK for producing a MPEG file for each chapter, which can then be combined using a custom menu with dvdauthor. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
