trouble shooting or debugging dvdstyler HELP

[alensandy2002]

Im trying to use dvdstyler to make a dvd but it crashes each time. I see a error pop up when I tell it to burn and create iso file but it crashes and goes away before I can read it.
Im wondering is there a way to see the error by stopping it from closeing when crashing or is there a error log I can view.

Any help would be nice in this matter
Thanks Allen

Same here only I was able to catch an error "Could not read YUVMPEG2 header" then it craps out.

I had the same problem, It crashed while creating the menu. I solved it with the following:

In the Settings->Core, I changed the Jpeg2Mpeg command to

Code: Select all

jpegtopnm "$FILE_IN" | ppmtoy4m -n 100 -I t -L $FRAME_RATE -S 420mpeg2 -r| mpeg2enc -f 8 -b $BITRATE -o "$FILE_OUT" $VIDEO_NORM

Hope this helps

Here is a link with what it needs to make it work. Just add the -S 420mpeg2 as it says. http://qdvdauthor.sourceforge.net/faq.html

Error executing of command: dvdauthor -o "/home/allen/dvd/" -x "/home/allen/dvd/dvdauthor.xml"

[claw]

Code: Select all

jpegtopnm "$FILE_IN" | ppmtoy4m -n 100 -I t -L $FRAME_RATE -S 420mpeg2 -r| mpeg2enc -f 8 -b $BITRATE -o "$FILE_OUT" $VIDEO_NORM

That didn't work for me (crashed dvdstyler); however, removing $FRAME_RATE made it work.

I'm using dvdstyler 1.5b5, and ppmtoy4m from mjpegtools-1.8.0-r1. Could be that $FRAME_RATE is a floating point value (example: 29.97), and ppmtoy4m does not accept a floating point argument for frame rate. Instead, the -F argument takes an exact integer ratio (which I suspect dvdstyler does not provide). Conveniently for me, NTSC video is the default frame rate, so I don't have to specify anything. If your frame rate is different, see "man ppmtoy4m", -F option.
