Description Dennis Schridde 2010-04-28 15:02:48 UTC
A lack of mp4creator on the system will result in something like the following:
--- logs/1.remuxlog ---
mp4creator -create 1.aac 1.mp4
open3: exec of mp4creator -create 1.aac 1.mp4 failed at /usr/share/undvd/common.pm line 219
--- *** ---

I tried media-libs/libmp4v2[+utils], but that is also lacking the mp4creator tool.
The ebuild provides no indication that mp4 processing will not work either, so after computing for a few hours you'll silently end up with the above, which is annoying.

Reproducible: Always

mp4creator is part of now dead libmp4v2.so.0 package (a.k.a. mpeg4ip). the project is dead and been replaced by libmp4v2.so.1 package (a.k.a. current libmp4v2 in portage).

if I remember correctly, undvd is just script, so patches are accepted to make it work with e.g.

- the new USE="utils" of libmp4v2
- MP4Box app from gpac package

Any work on adding this feature will be happening in the upstream bug and/or git. 

However it looks like undvd is a dead project as per:

http://undvd.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=undvd/undvd;a=summary

And because undvd is not a depend of anything in Portage the way to go here is to remove the package.
