imagemagic-6.3.5.10 CLI option changed

Bjoern — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 23:14:09 -0000

Required changes for imagemagic-6.3.5.10 in any2dvd-3.6_beta

You maybe should code the script against specific version (which is currently up to date). If the version differs from the one that the script was coded for, you should throw out a warning that commandline options of the tool XYZ may have changed.

Something like:

!WARNING! ${TOOLXYZ} version is newer/older than expected, this implies that CLI options may have changed and it might break that script.

-# In a terminal type `convert -list type`, if the fonts package is installed correctly, it will show a list of fonts
+# In a terminal type `convert -list font`, if the fonts package is installed correctly, it will show a list of fonts

- GS_XML=`convert -list type | grep Path: | grep ghostscript | awk '{print $2}'`
+ GS_XML=`convert -list font | grep Path: | grep ghostscript | awk '{print $2}'`

I am not 100% shure but I guess you mixed up these two:
Checking if Transcode can decode audio stream ... YES
Checking if Transcode can decode video stream without MPlayer ... YES

any2vob (line 2088 and 2091) as example

When watching the output tmp folder it creats a m2v file but shows "Checking if Transcode can decode audio stream ..." ;-)

Patch for minor problems with any2dvd 0.34

cryosome — Wed, 09 May 2007 16:53:57 -0000

Hello,

I stumbled across some minor problems yesterday, when I wanted to make DVDs of some avi files.

The first problem occurred on line 6300:

cd $currDir

The script bailed out since the directory I was working in/with contained spaces. Quoting $currDir solved the problem.

The second problem was when the DVD file structure were to be created, and dvdauthor complained about widescreen="nopanscan". Reading some forum posts, I found out that dvdauthor recently was made stricter when using 4:3 format (which I did). I'm using dvdauthor 0.6.14, by the way. The solution to this was to add some if statements, which - if $ASPECT is 4:3 - removed the creation of the

lines, and the widescreen="nopanscan" from the <video ... /> lines defining the aspect and resolution, in the $XMLFILE.

Here is a patch solving these problems, if you'll accept it.

Thank you for a nifty tool :)

Hello again,

I hereby submit a diff file with modifications I had to include in any2vob so some trouble was by-passed:

1) arial.ttf not found
2) broken sed command (Error: "Search pattern not terminated at -e line 1")
3) cat overwriting ogg_tmp.dat file, which as a result gets empty and no video/audio/subtitles are detecting when using ogmdemux on ogm files
4) adding the possibility that the audio files written by ogmdemux are mp3 and not ogg
5) minor problem with "SUBFONT" environment variable

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Miguel

with patch attached this time

Since which itch was badly needed scratching, I thought
I could probably share the experience over.

Any2dvd does a pretty descent job with my patch which
works around merely some bugs exposed due to bash
upgrades, changing the argument handling, and minor bug
fixing.

If there is sufficient interest I may turn this patch
to a series of smaller for inclusion. If not I hope
that anybody hits the archives with the same questions
like me, may find in this patch the solution.

patch to make any2dvd working again with recent bash

Ok,

Since I scratched the which was badly needed
scratching, I thought I could
probably share the experience over.

The point is that with this patch I could sort of use
any2dvd
to convert some AVI's to DVD. There are a lot of
problems into
the code because any2DVD uses a lot of external
programs which
can fail mysteriously. I don't want to be
misunderstood, any2dvd
is an amazing program, very nicely done and organized,
but the
sheer complexity of what it tries to achieve is
astonishing.
