dvdslideshow problem

[gerben1]

Hi,
I am trying to make a simple picture DVD slide show, without any music. I am getting an error when dvdslideshow tries make a silent audio file as you can see below:

Error in console output:

Does anybody know how I can get this working?

Hi,

I also got the same problem. If you find a solution please let me know.

Thanks.

I found out how to solve it in the end, it is in another thread, but anyways to get dvdslideshow working, just run these 2 commands in the console:

sudo apt-get install libsox-fmt-all
sudo sed -i 's/-ab 192/-ab 192k/g' /usr/bin/dvd-slideshow

The first command will install all sox libraries, it is only about 1 Mb in total, and the second command does the necessary text replacement in the dvd-slideshow script.

Thanks gerben1

I was going in circles trying to figure out why ffmpeg wasn't working,I thought I messed up the install but even using a LiveCD ffmpeg failed.

Anyway I just tried it and it seems to have worked, no errors at the end of the slideshow creation anyway.

Thank you so much gerben1!
I re-compiled ffmpeg in the hope that mandvd would work, you post fixed my problem perfectly. Thanks again :D
