A new version of qdvdauthor was released on 2006-07-04 version 0.1.1
thanks for reporting. I'll check this later.
Created attachment 92229 [details] qdvdauthor 0.1.1 ebuild with fixes for bug 119756
Created attachment 92230 [details, diff] configure patch to allow --without-mplayer-support, --without-xine-support, and --without-vlc-support
Created attachment 92231 [details] new ebuild that actually works when mplayer is in use compiles with -mplayer, +xine, works compiles with +mplayer, -xine, qplayer runs and plays a file compiles with +mplayer, +xine, xine and mplayer plugin are compiled, and they run fine i hope the ebuild and configure patch are useful
qdvdauthor-0.1.2-r1 is in CVS now with "xine" and "mplayer" use-flags. But I solved the problem w/o a patch, which is ugly if you have to stay in sync with every version. But feel free to submit your patch upstream, since it looks valuable. ;-) btw: VLC support is currently broken (configure checks for xine-libs and doesn't compile, but I haven't investigated it further).
