QDVDauthor and creating your own dvds

Posted 1 year, 11 months ago on March 15, 2007 by yerma  Fun Stuff, Just Stuff

Have had some real problem creating disks using qdvdauthor on kubuntu so sorted out the following set of instructions to keep myself right for the future:

• create my menus etc using qdvdauthor
  
• click the burn disk button
  
• uncheck the dvdauthor at the bottom and click ok (this creates the temporary directories required)
  
• Wait for it to do it's thing and then click ok or close
  
• Click the burn disk button again
  
• click the export button and put somewhere sensible for you to find
  
• I had to change and comment out the line about
  jpeg2yuv
  
• and replace uncomment the one underneath which begins:
  jpegtopnm
  
• open up the .sh file it creates and check paths etc
  
• run this script and it will create your menus etc
  
• navigate to the temp drive and locate the dvdauthor.xml file
  run this:
  dvdauthor -x /full/path/to/dvdauthor.xml
  
• keep your fingers crossed and your disk space available......
