spumux problem


Just taking a shot that someone has seen and solved this problem before. I can't get my buttons on my menu generated using spumux to highlight or show the select font or color. clicking on them starts the movie but because they don't highlight or select I can't tell which one the remote is over when I choose it.

The following is from a tutorial I found by Rick Harris but the results are the same using qdvdauthor.

Here is the output from spumux from the tutorial:

[root@localhost matrix-xp]# spumux spumux.xml < matrix_menu.mpg > matrix_menu_final.mpg
DVDAuthor::spumux, version 0.6.10.
Build options: gnugetopt magick iconv freetype fribidi
Send bugs to <dvdauthor-users@lists.sourceforge.net>

- The normal display height of the font arial.ttf was 0.
- The bottom display height of the font arial.ttf was 0.
- The biggest subtitle box had 0 bytes.
[root@localhost matrix-xp]#

My software versions are up to recommendations.

Has anyone seen this before?

This is discussed in the dvdauthor's user forum as a problem dvdauthor 0.6.10 has with later versions of ImageMagick (not to exclude 5.5.7 which is mine). They suggest the alpha version of dvdauthor or a patch I haven/t been able to find as a solution. See the forum.

I had the same problem, I couldn't see any buttons....
I tried qdvdauthor, dvdstyler and "handmade" xml recipies,
I RTFM again and again, wrote lots of xml files, still no buttons....
and really tried all sorts os things with spumux....

I had compiled dvdauthor-0.6.10 from source on Slackware 10 without problems, in desperation I junked it and tried dvdauthor-0.6.9 but still no buttons.

I'm pleased to say the alpha version works for me,
try dvdauthor-2773, it's not perfect, there's some slightly weird buttons
in the first column...

but there ARE buttons you can see!!!! ))))

Fixed in the latest version

Hi -

I've been tearing my hair out with a similar problem, but this morning I downloaded the latest release of DVDAUTHOR (6.11) and it is defintely FIXED thank heavens.

You can get version 6.11 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdauthor/

Note - at time of writing there are no RPMs available of the new version, however I had no problems building it from source (Fedora 3).
