Re: DVDStyler on Wheezy

I get those errors when I use deb-multimedia.

Going to try another fresh install of refracta and wheezy to be sure it works on those.

The 2.1 packages from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kyloris ... dvdstyler/ worked fine on clean installs of beta9 refracta, beta9 refracta updated, rc1 wheezy and rc1wheezy updated.

Looks like deb-multimedia packages break everything though.


just fyi I used the following file to create a dvd

Wow! That was a lot of work. Much appreciated. However . . .

I need to have avidemux working alongside DVDStyler. It is only available in deb-multimedia. If you install it does it break things?

Hmmm . . . I don't know what settings you used but this file is just an mpg. The DVDs I've created are always in ISO format complete with menus. The file structure of the ISO would be similar to this.

As a fallback in case avidemux trashes DVDStyler on wheezy, I've just installed refracta squeeze which I'm going to set up just for video editing. Once it's working I'll take a snapshot and then install it on my 'working' computer - better processor and more RAM. Then I can switch the bloated gnome/squeeze out with xfce/wheezy when it goes stable.

Steve posted that over on FDN last week. He is a wizard! I would give Mepis a try if it wasn't KDE. Don't know how it would work with XFCE . . .

I installed Dean's deb in refracta-wheezy-beta-9-upgraded-to-sid, tried to make a dvd, failed (I'm pretty sure this drive won't burn), tried to make an iso, faile with
Code:
Output #0, dvd, to '/mnt/dvd-tmp/menu1-0.mpg_bg.mpg':
    Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x480 [PAR 8:9 DAR 4:3], q=2-31, 6000 kb/s, 90k tbn, 29.97 tbc
    Stream #0.1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, fltp, 64 kb/s
[ac3 @ 0x8f469c0] Specified sample_fmt is not supported.
Segmentation fault


So I checked for missing dependencies and found some. Installed
libavcodec-extra-53 libavformat-extra-53 libavutil-extra-51

Did not install libswscale-extra-2. I couldn't find it in the repo earlier, but now I see it's there.
Did not install xine - instead, I changed the config to use gnome-mplayer.

Tried to make another iso. It tried to preview, and gnome-mplayer hung. I'm not looking at the output of the package installation listed above, and I see some things were removed. I'll post the output below.
I did get as far as having the directory structure with .VOB files, but no iso.

Turned off preview.
Changed setting from ac3 to whatever the other choice was (mpg2 I think.) I'm trying again. This is in vbox, so it's going very slowly. Will report back tonight or tomorrow.

I would say so. They really seem to conflict for wheezy. Maybe some pinning or something.

Hmmm . . . I don't know what settings you used but this file is just an mpg.
Correct. That is the mpg file I downloaded and added as a chapter to the dvd. It worked fine. But using other mpg files I found on the net causes problems. So I wonder if even that version is still buggy just in different ways than the 2.3.4 version.

I will do some more fiddling....

Then I can switch the bloated gnome/squeeze out with xfce/wheezy when it goes stable.

Nothing bloaty about a nice slim gnome 2 install at all. In fact I think I am going to update the old refracta gnome image, this gtk2/gtk3 mess in wheezy is driving me nuts.

Yea it seems to be a bit hit or miss kind of thing.

Really appreciate the effort you're putting into trying to get this working. Here's a short 115mb mpg that I created with avidemux for you to play with. In the meantime, I'm trying to get things together on refracta squeeze.

Actually it looks like you could install avidemux from deb-multimedia without a problem. You just need to make sure you do not let it pull in a bunch of libav packages.

Just uploaded some repacks of the mepis community repo packages as well as some ubuntu repacks. They both seem to work pretty well.

Tomorrow I will do a clean install and then use the file you uploaded to see which version(s) seem to work best.

That last run worked. I got an iso file with the vob files in video_ts and no segfaults. It bugs me that there's a setting for using ac3, but it fails, saying that ac3 is not supported. I can play the iso directly in gnome-mplayer. It's a bit much for my virtual machine to handle, but it plays, and the menu works.
