[edit] tovid 0.31
[edit] todisc: dvdauthor step fails for switched menus
This bug only comes into play when doing switched menus and feeding todisc non-compliant files that need to be re-encoded by tovid. The short patch is here
[edit] tovid 0.30
[edit] tovid GUI: DVD does not burn
When making a DVD with the GUI, the author process fails on the Burn tab with:
STAT: Processing -noask... ERR: Error opening -noask: No such file or directory
This is a GUI bug and can be fixed by editing the xml file created in the process. You don't need to re-encode your videos or remake your menus.
[edit] Patch
This bug has an official patch.
[edit] Work around
If you don't want to patch tovid, you can still work around the bug. Look for an xml file named after your disc (if you didn't change the disc settings, it will most likely be called "Untitled_disc.xml" and will be in /tmp). Remove these lines:
<titleset>
<titles>
<video />
<pgc>
<vob file="-noask" chapters="0" />
<post>call menu;</post>
</pgc>
</titles>
</titleset>
and re-author and burn with:
makedvd -author -burn -device DEVICE XML_FILE
changing DEVICE and XML_FILE to suit your needs.
[edit] makemenu fails
When using makemenu, the process fails with:
Creating 4-second silent ac3 audio... expr: syntax error /usr/local/bin/makemenu: line 778: test: -eq: unary operator expected Converting menu image to video. This may take a while... Multiplexing video and audio streams... Adding the DVD buttons to menu... /usr/local/bin/makemenu: line 816: /media/sda3/300/menu.0/menu.mpg: No such file or directory Cleaning up... ========================================================= It looks like something went wrong, because there is no output file. Please submit a bug report on the tovid homepage: add -debug to your command (makemenu -debug ...) and post the log file and terminal output. Sorry for the inconvenience. http://www.tovid.org
This is most likely caused by an update in ffmpeg syntax, which is more strict. This was fixed on 26 March 2007 in subversion revision 2034.
[edit] Patch
This bug has an official patch.
[edit] Work around
Either use a slightly older ffmpeg that recognizes the syntax; or edit makemenu lines 758 and 765, changing -ab 224 to -ab 224k
Note: This bug also affect other scripts like tovid and todisc, so if you are going to be using these scripts it would be better to apply the patch listed above.
[edit] todisc fails with non english locales
If you use todisc with a non English locale, particularly a locale that uses a comma decimal separator, you may get errors like:
A seek of 2 seconds is too large for foo.mpg . . .
Or other critical errors.
This is hopefully fixed in svn, but needs testers. You can install svn scripts only now with:
su -c "make install-bash install-man"
