using dvdstyler and mjpegtools >1.7 to create a dvd with a backgroung image or images is not possible because ppmtoy4m gives a message about some unknown headers and dvdstyler crashes thereafter. I cannot copy the message. I found on this page a solution http://home.arcor.de/chrhoffmann/Problem_DVDstyler.html (the second proposed at the end of the page). in configuration->settings->core add the parameter -S 420mpeg2 to ppmtoy4m jpegtopnm "$FILE_IN" | ppmtoy4m -n 1 -I t -L $FRAME_RATE -S 420mpeg2| mpeg2enc -f 8 -b $BITRATE -o "$FILE_OUT" $VIDEO_NORM Without this I cannot create some dvd. I don't know if I had the problem because I was using an old config file with a new version of the program (I installed it 4 years ago and since then updated), but maybe the ebuild should test for this problem or warn the user. versions I am using: [ Results for search key : dvdstyler ] [ Applications found : 1 ] * media-video/dvdstyler Latest version available: 1.4 Latest version installed: 1.4 Size of files: 699 kB Homepage: http://dvdstyler.sourceforge.net Description: DVD filesystem Builder License: GPL-2 Searching...

Confirmed, but i use self compiled dvdstyler-1.5_beta5... After little research: * http://www.mail-archive.com/mjpeg-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06941.html There is a hint about libjpeg-mmx, recompiled media-video/mjpegtools with USE="-mmx", but problem persists, after unmerge of media-libs/jpeg-mmx and next compilation of media-video/mjpegtools it works (so there is problem with ebuild that uses libjpeg-mmx even with USE="-mmx" selected). After that (and other dependencies fixes with libquicktime) dvdstyler start to work... So i assume that problem is with libjpeg-mmx library. PS. I tried to run commands used by dvdstyler externally and found that use of jpeg2yuv ends with Segmentation Fault.
i can confirm this segfault, same problem here, some solution or work around?, because i need to free my disk and i'm unable to create the prepared dvd's.
The exact command used here is: jpeg2yuv -n 1 -I t -L 1 -f 25 -j '/tmp/test/menu1-0.mpg_bg.jpg' | mpeg2enc -f 8 -b 9000 -o '/tmp/test/menu1-0.mpg_bg.m2v'
What is the state of this bug now that jpeg-mmx is dead and buried?
I was a bit fast. Has nothing todo with jpeg-mmx. The parameter "-S 420mpeg2" is always needed with mjpegtools-1.8, as else the picture-format ppmtoy4m outputs and mpeg2enc wants to read differ. From http://www.mail-archive.com/mjpeg-users%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg06336.html: In v1.8+, ppmtoy4m produces a 4:4:4 stream by default, since this involves the minimal amount of processing and since its internal subsampling algorithm is not very good. mpeg2enc, however, wants some form of 4:2:0 input. So, either something like y4mscaler needs to be used between the two to do good subsampling, or the "-S" option (with a suitable parameter) needs to be supplied to ppmtoy4m to do mediocre subsampling.
is this fixed with dvdstyler-1.5? 1.4 is on the punting path due to wxGTK-2.4 depreciation and removal (bug #145032)
assumed to work in later version. reopen if this isn't the case.
