DVDAuthor Wizard not building menus

I realy liked this app, but unfortunelly menu creation isn't working here. It loads and does everything fine, but when trying to make the menu it says that "Your version of Sox failed to read the soundtrack file". If I don't select a sound file for the menu, it says "Whoops. Your Transcode version failed while generating frames from this video file".

I "recompiled" it, and also installed through the installer based on kommander, and same problem persists. DVD authoring without menu seems to work well, but I wanna make one with it.

Thanks in advance for any hint

Re: DVDAuthor Wizard not building menus

If anyone is interested, downgrading both transcode and sox to a more-than-one-year-old version did the trick. I also downgraded imagemagick as suggested in www.kde-apps.org, but I think it wasn't necessary.

I mean this isn't a real solution, so I will not change the status of this thread to [solved].

Re: DVDAuthor Wizard not building menus

can you tell me where you got the more-than-one-year-old version of transcode and sox?... i have been trying to get menus working again for a few weeks now, and am kicking myself for clearing my pacman cache a few months back... who would have thought being a pac-rat would have paid off.  i usually keep this type of stuff... and i only removed it because i was seriously running out of space on my hard disk.  not that i would definitely have had these files, but there would have been a good chance (i know i removed a few GB).

Re: DVDAuthor Wizard not building menus

Sorry for the delay on answering, I wasn't on town and had no access to Internet.

You just need to modify the PKGBUILD's from ABS to compile the old versions needed. Unfortunelly (for you) I deleted the 'fixed' PKGBUILD's, so you'll have to do it your own. You need sox 12.18.2 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile … _id=444582 and transcode 1.0.3 http://transcode.kabewm.com/transcode-1.0.3.tar.bz2 (I'm not sure about the last one)

I hope you success in your tries. Anyway, if you need some help on compiling or installing both packages (or anything else) just let me now.

I already notified the author of this problem, but he hasn't answered yet. http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.ph … tent=27528
