DVD Authoring

Anyone here have much experience with dvd-author and/or dvd-slideshow I am having a few problems with both (at the moment I am driving them from qdvdauthor, but the same issues seem to be present even if I do it from the command line) I am trying to add background music (in the form of an mp3 file) to the VMGM menu (main menu) I am trying to (or at least qdvdauthor is trying to) do the following mplex -f 8 -o "menu.mpg" "menu.m2v" "song1.mp3" Where the m2v file is a MPEG2 stream of my menu background, the mpg file is the output that goes into DVD author and song1.mp3 is the music I want. At this point I get ERROR:[mplex] File song1.mp3 unrecogniseable! mp3 file is a straight 192kbs file that seems happy enough in any player I chuck it through. dvd-slideshow I am running the command dvd-slideshow -o show -f list.txt -n Photos list.txt is a test file with entries as follows imgp1364.jpg:5:: imgp1365.jpg:5:: and so on.... When I run this I get the following in the output messages [mpeg2enc] Could not read YUV4MPEG2 header: stream requires unsupported features! Any help offered would be greatly appreciated. Wayne

Has anyone got any good links to information or examples on how to let a user navigate through a 3d space using mouse and keyboard ? Examples of openGL code would be even better :-) Peter

Got a small problem dropped in my lap.. Need to import a whole bunch of html pages in to a wiki environment. I've installed kwiki and got it up and running with minimal effort, and now kinda stuck on the most efficient method to import the data. Does anyone have some simple suggestions ? Regards, Paul. -- From the Klingon book of C: Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.

DVD Authoring (one more question)
by Wayne Stallwood 02 Oct '05

To save me burning a coaster, do you know if traditional DVD players mind having files or folders sitting outside the usual VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. Will they just ignore the contents ? I am creating a handout DVD for a vintage car rally I attended a while ago and as well as having a some video footage and DVD photo slideshow I thought it's would be nice to provide a folder on the DVD with the high res master shots for those that want to print them or something.
