[opensuse] Authoring Looping DVD's
Hi Folks, I've been asked to assemble some video content for public display at a local museum. They want to be able to play a DVD and have it bypass the menu display and loop the content continuously. I know this can be done with proprietary Windows/IOS software, but I just can't bring myself to go there... I've tried several Linux utilities, including devede and dvdauthor, but either they can't do it or I'm not clever enough to figure it out. DRM isn't an issue here, the content isn't protected, and the museum has permission to display from the producer. Does anyone have any experience with burning loopy DVD's?

DVDStyler, from packman allows you to play whichever title you want when the title (media) is finished. This means that you will repeat the media continually. If you have xine installed you can preview before creating the iso image.

Thanks for the pointer, Dave. I tried to install DVDStyler on a 13.2 system yesterday but encountered multiple dependency issues. I gave up with it. But I just tried installing on a 42.1 box without a problem and it seems to run. So maybe it's time to make the "Leap" on my home system? BTW, here's zypper's output on a 13.2 box: Problem: DVDStyler-2.9.5-3.35.x86_64 requires cdrtools, but this requirement cannot be provided uninstallable providers: cdrtools-3.01~a24-2.2.1.i586[repo-oss] cdrtools-3.01~a24-2.2.1.x86_64[repo-oss] cdrtools-3.01~a25-2.8.2.i586[repo-update] cdrtools-3.01~a25-2.8.2.x86_64[repo-update] Solution 1: deinstallation of cdrkit-cdrtools-compat-1.1.11-20.1.7.x86_64 Solution 2: do not install DVDStyler-2.9.5-3.35.x86_64 Solution 3: do not install DVDStyler-2.9.5-3.35.x86_64 Solution 4: break DVDStyler-2.9.5-3.35.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/4/c] (c): Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, you need to install cdrtools for your release.

Carlos is correct, if you find any needed software that depends on any of the wodim binaries let me know and I'll fix the problem. cdrkit-cdrtools-compat genisoimage icedax These are all replacements for cdrtools binaries but haven't been maintained for quite a while.

Hi Dave, DVDStyler seems to have installed okay by selecting these in zypper: Solution 1: deinstallation of cdrkit-cdrtools-compat-1.1.11-20.1.7.x86_64 Solution 1: deinstallation of icedax-1.1.11-20.1.7.x86_64 It starts up and seems happy until I try to "burn" a title. It complains: [NULL @ 0x221e120] Requested output format 'dvd' is not a suitable output format /tmp/dvd-cache/entry001.vob: Invalid argument Error transcoding of /export/ssd/wolfgang/home/Sdrm/video/working/test.mpeg I must be doing something wrong, but I've got to go to work now so will try this again later.

I only trust DVDStyler to make iso images, although it most probably works, I leave the burning to k3b or if you don't have kde use brasero. Make sure you select "jump to title 1" in "post command" at the bottom of title 1's properties box (right click title 1) to loop the dvd. Try the spanner configuration icon at the top. I've had the same configuration for ages. It uses ffmpeg, dvd+rw-tools and dvdauthor packages as well as cdrtools, make sure they're up to date. If you continue to have a problem I'll dig a little deeper. Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

devede fails too, with the same error from ffmpeg not finding a suitable output format for "dvd". So it seems that ffmpeg is the source of the problem as shown by this simple invocation: ffmpeg -i test.mpeg foo.avi On 13.2 this returns: "This build of ffmpeg does not include a "mpeg4" encoder needed for output stream #0:0." On 42.1 it works and creates a MPEG-4 video file foo.avi. I know, the solution is to upgrade to 42.1, but I'm not quite ready to do that on the system I have to use. Any thoughts?

Did you try zypper dup -r packman?
I always enable packman and I've also "dup"ed. But I tried it again this morning and new versions were downloaded and it now transcodes okay! BTW, Leap with packman also transcodes with DVDstyler, I tried it yesterday. So now that ffmpeg is working okay, I'm having problems with DVDstyler burning a looping DVD. I flicked all the right bits and I got it to start playing after the dvd is inserted, but it doesn't loop. But since ffmpeg now works, so does devede and I was able to make the looping dvd with it. It seems that devede has more controls about what to do with menus and post playing. So for the record, I used handbrake to rip the original dvd, I then used kino to cut segment, then used devede to create the new dvd without a starting menu and to loop on the first (and only) title.
