It’s claim to fame? A script to transform PC multimedia file(s) in any format, into a DVD complete with menus & suitable for playback on a standalone DVD player. So, I then come across any2dvd – usage: any2dvd It’s 9:30pm, I want to have a playable DVD by 10:30-11pm. I run ldconfig and still the same error message. Go to load it and I get this:ĭvdstyler: error while loading shared libraries: libswscale.so.ld: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory They are only in i386 architecture, so I –force-architecture and they install. how hard could it be to do this? It turned out to be quite difficult using the Linux tools I could find.įirst, I came across a post that uses DVDStyler, it’s not in Ubuntu repo’s but they have some deb packages so I download and install them. I wanted to do both PAL and NTSC because these DVD’s are going to South America and although they use NTSC there, it’s nothing to burn both just in case there’s some issue with one or the other. All I wanted to do was to grab these 5 movies and put them into standard DVD format. Anyway, we managed to use Sony’s software to dump it to a Windows 2003 server and pulled it across to my Ubuntu machine. It just so happens that Linux doesn’t support this format at the moment (though Windows 2003 doesn’t natively either), so be warned. Mostly because I don’t watch much video except for a wierd philia for watching Cop Chases on Youtube or at the other end of the spectrum, watching the extremely interesting TedTalks using Miro or Google Tech Talks.Īnyway, my sister-in-law purchased a Mini-DVD Sony camera. How do Bombono and DVD Styler compare? Better or worse?Īny thoughts and comments would be appreciated.I haven’t spent much time with Video editing / DVD authoring on either Linux or Windows. which version of DeVeDe is right for Mint 17.3 XFCE edition? The Software Manager offers v3.23.0, while the author's website suggests that a new variant, DeVeDeNG (v4.8.7), has been "rewritten to work with Python3 and Gtk3" (what does Mint 17.3 XFCE have?). do they all offer conversion, editing, authoring and menu-creation? Burning is not a big deal. But I have a few questions before I start. Ideally I'd like one program which does all the steps, rather than having to use various different softwares. I could spend ages experimenting with each, and each has good and bad reviews. But for the main tasks of preparing and creating DVDs, it seems as if there are three options: DeVeDe, Bombono, and DVDStyler. So I thought I'd try out the Linux alternative(s) to see if they were easier, better, and more user-friendly! I know I can use Avidemux (eg for editing). But the most persistent problem is the audio and video being out of sync in the converted files or by the time I create the. All do things differently, and I'm not yet an expert in adjusting settings. I have also tried DVD Flick and WinX DVD. Using Windows 7, I have tried Avidemux for converting/editing, AVStoDVD for authoring, and ImgBurn for burning - with about a 50% success rate at best. It seems that three stages are necessary: converting to a different format (editing out ads etc if necessary), authoring the DVD folder or image (with menu if relevant), and finally burning the actual DVD. My main aim is to transfer video recordings (TV programmes etc) which I have saved on a Humax PVR, on to DVDs. I'd like to see if Linux software on Mint does better. But I have been doing some exploration and experimenting with various Windows-specific software programmes, with mixed results. I also still have a computer with Windows 7, used only rarely now. I'm using Linux Mint 17.3 XFCE on my - main - computer. I'm not an IT expert (not keen on command-line working) and still at the early part of a learning curve on how to save/burn video files on to DVDs.
