Howdy, Fellows:
Thanks for the hints, but 'cinelerra' is much, much more
complex than what I want or need. Those suggestions
are video editors, movie editors, ...
All I want to do is make a slide show of my still images
and put them on a DVD, perhaps with background music,
to play on a television DVD player.
Again, thanks,
Chuck

What is your suggestion for an application that will convert
many (still) images into a DVD slideshow, perhaps with
background music? I've been trying to obtain image2mpeg
with varying sucess. I was able to get a version downloaded
and compiled. I created an image (stream.ppm), but there
seems to be no mention of how to get the output file onto a DVD.
If the output DVD <image> is small, can it be placed on
a (650-700MB) CDROM and played on a standard DVD player?
If yes, how? 'growisofs' balks at writing to my CDROM media.
I am using Slackware v10.2 and understand *.tar.gz.
I am poorer at installing *.rpm, but will try if that is the only
offering of another application. *.deb, I don't know.
Regards, Chuck
I haven't tried slide shows yet still stuck on editing
streaming video with two, partially successful, routes: Linux Video
Editor; http://lvempeg.sourceforge.net that compiles and installs
under Slack10.2, but I've not, yet, been able to figure out how to
actually edit videos, only preview.. It wont work with .avi files,
just .vob's that I've converted with videotrans' -M flag.. (You
discovered most that led up to this.) It, of course, requires a
bazillion libs that, in turn, require more libs.. <grin> LVE has a
DVDAuthoring-HOWTO that's interesting referring to many buzz words
we're now immersed in.. Of course videotrans can convert to non muxed
files; .mp2 and m2v..
Another much more powerful scheme I've installed is cinelerra:
www.cinelerra.org
the heroinewarrior.com version that only installs into FedoraCore 4,
but includes all the deps in the 30mB rpm package.. I tried cinelerra
tarball but never got it working under Slack10.2.. It's world class
and you can do everything with it including washing dishes I think..The blurb says that
cinelerra is "professional."
Cinelerra recommends Kino for blokes like me but I got nowhere with
it, especially since it's sort of designed for digital camera to
editor and back... The various codecs can drive one to drink too..
There is a list on cinelerra where you could get much info.
There is a link to a slackware site on www.cinelerra.org
It really is pro.
I will have a look at lvempeg.sf.net
