You'll find mailing list and irc info for packman at http://packman.links2linux.de/help and if you search for dvdwizard it will lead you to : http://packman.links2linux.de/package/dvdwizard and it has a mailto to the packager for queries.

Thanks. Email notice sent.

Anything to do with openSUSE multimedia I can help but not with packman.

Thanks for that too. I'm trying to convert .ts files from my set top box to player compatible DVDs. So far no success trying any of the substantial number of available tools and combinations of tools. The main obstacle with some so far has been creating chapters. Have you done any of this? If so, using which tool(s)? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation)

Thanks for that too. I'm trying to convert .ts files from my set top box to player compatible DVDs. Assuming a .ts file is an mpeg -ts container use ffmpeg -i filetoconvert -target ntsc-dvd outputfile.vob You can view the output file as it converts using kaffeine. So far no success trying any of the substantial number of available tools and combinations of tools. The main obstacle with some so far has been creating chapters. Have you done any of this? If so, using which tool(s)?

I usually use ffmpeg to prepare files for dvd and then use dvdstyler. In dvdstyler you have to make sure, in the video files property box that the do not recode box is ticked if you've already used ffmpeg to convert the file (-target ntsc-dvd is mostly the only switch needed to convert with ffmpeg although I use -vf pad= to correct the aspect of some unusual source video file sizes) it creates the chapters and then an iso from the ffmpeg converted files. You can also use dvdstyler to convert the files using transcode but they sometimes fail. Warning - dvdstyler uses wxwidgets from packman and can sometimes cause installation dependency issues because openSUSE uses wxgtk.

In a similar (but not exactly the same) scenario, my input files are produced from a Digital TV USB receiver (DVB) and recorded by Kaffeine, which produces files in MPEG TS (transport stream) format, usually with junk/commercials before and/or after the show. The first step is to remove all the junk using dvbcut ( available from Packman, or http://dvbcut.sourceforge.net ) with a series of start and stop markers (it has also chapters and bookmarks, that I don't use); dvbcut exports the results in MPEG PS (program stream) files that can be used as inputs by DVDStyler and other dvdauthor front-ends. I prefer to export each chapter as a different MPG file in dvbcut, and then import each chapter in DVDStyler, which arranges and organizes the DVD menus and buttons.
