[SOLVED] has anyone got devede working on slackware 13 64bit

hoodooman · 09-16-2009, 01:42 PM

Having problems with devede on Slackware 13 64.It appears to encode the video but fails when attempting to make the dvd tree.It could be that dvdauthor is at fault here.Im using the slackbuilds.org build for dvdauthor through sbopkg.The version of devede is 3.11b.Im using the slackbuild for 12.2 as a 13 version isnt available yet.It works great on the kids Linux Mint PC.The error message says "unable to build dvd tree maybe you have run out of disk space".My / partition only uses 34% according to df.Cheers.

At least you could make devede work (besides dvd tree). Here, once installed, it didn't start. Please, let me know how you installed it.

Isn't it there any other package to create DVDs?

Thanks!

devede is working fine here on 64bit slackware 13
I used the sbopkg scripts for it and all dependencies, I don't recall having to do anything special

can you run the commands manually?

e.g.

Code:

mencoder -o output.avi -noidx -oac copy -ovc copy input.avi
ffmpeg -i output.avi -y -target ntsc-dvd -sameq -aspect 16:9 output.mpg
dvdauthor --title -o dvd -f output.mpg
dvdauthor -o dvd -T
mkisofs -dvd-video -o file.iso dvd/

Same here.

34% of what? 34% of 1TB, 34% of 10GB? Make sure the output directory has enough free space to encode (~4gb) author (~4gb) and make the iso (~4gb).

You have to use an older version of DeVeDe. The newer releases require a newer GTK2 that is not supplied with Slackware.

There are plenty of applications that create DVDs. DVDStyler, kmedia-factory, Q-DVD-Author, ToVid to name a couple. Try looking at kde-apps.org, gnome-apps.org (not just gnome apps), freshmeat.net, and http://www.videohelp.com/tools/secti...ux-video-tools

Thanks! Now I installed DeVeDe 3.12c and it works (I didn't try tu burn a DVD but the program starts normally).

Thanks again for all the help provided.

Thats 34% of 500gb disturbed1.I do know that I have plenty space.I have used devede before on same drive with slack 12.2.So what version of devede are you guys using if it works for you.I have tried 3.11b and 3.12c .glore2002 you could try and process a file and see if it works.My installed devede appears to work too but fails later in the process.

Check to make sure the file is actually encoded.

When you launch DeVeDe from the command line, every step it takes is output for you to see. Watch this to see where it fails.

Each time a step is attempted you'll see Launching program: with the command list followed. Something like -

Code:

Launching program: ['mplayer', '-identify', '-ao', 'null', '-vo', 'null', '-frames', '1', '/mnt/nfs.serv.12/dv/2006/07/08.44.dv']

-------------

Also look for a line similar to this-

Code:

Free space in /mnt/nfs.serv.04/: 8112383085

To check that DeVeDe is outputing to the correct dir, and the correct free space is seen.

The above code is copied from a quick (and successful) run with DeVeDe 3.12.c. Try extracting the source code to a directory, and running it from there. DeVeDe does not need to be compiled nor installed.

OK. I will try it today as soon as I get home and tell you what happened. I will try to create and burn a movie DVD. The version I've installed is 3.12c (from slacky.eu because sbopkg couldn't download the package).

SORTED..It appears that the cvs version of mplayer that I was using was to blame.I reinstalled the original Slackware package for mplayer and devedee worked.Using version 3.12c from Slacky.eu.Thanks for all who replied,and cheers botnet for the command line equivalents.

Nice to hear that. I was also going to tell you that DeVeDe worked fine here too.

Where are you guys finding the older versions of devede to compile on Slackware 13 64bit? The devede site only has the newest version.

tommcd · 10-02-2009, 02:37 AM

Thanks, I never thought to look on slacky.eu. I got devede to run. I have not tried making a dvd with it yet but the program loads. I used the slackbuild from slacky.eu and ran it with: ARCH=x86_64 ./devede.Slackbuild.

Has anybody been able to compile devede 3.14.0 on 12.2? There are no errors when compiling. When I run the app from the command line I receive the following error messages:

Code:

linea:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/devede", line 311, in <module>
    new_file=devede_disctype.disctype(global_vars)
  File "/usr/lib/devede/devede_disctype.py", line 37, in __init__
    self.tree=devede_other.create_tree(self,"wdisk_type",self.gladefile)

    tree.add_from_file(os.path.join(builderpath,filename+".ui"))
glib.GError: Unhandled tag: 'requires'

I have compiled 3.12c and run with no errors.
