Problem is known, see also workarround at:

http://dvdstyler.sourceforge.net/wiki/FAQMjpegtoolsError

open the file /usr/bin/dvd-slideshow with editor and add on each line with "ppmtoy4m" the option "-S 420mpeg2"

but now I get the bashbug #133635 :o(

[Comment 2 Matthias Schwarzott 2006-11-20 05:15:52 UTC]

Perhaps that parameters should be set correct already in the ebuild.
If someone attaches a patch that will be commited.

[Comment 3 Steve Dibb (RETIRED) 2007-08-25 14:51:07 UTC]

Fixed in newer versions? 0.7.5, 0.8.0
