Seems that dvdauthor can't handle your video. You could try convert(filter?)
your
video with some tool to make it dvdauthor compatible mpeg2. There is not much
KMediaFactory can do about this.

You could try ffmpeg. There are lots of parameters but you could first try just:
ffmpeg -i some.vob -o new.mpg
Also ProjectX seems to be output good mpeg2 and it can edit file too. I have
used it
to remove commercials from tv recordings and convert file from ts to ps mpeg.

Thank you! I will try this.
I used ffmpeg to concatenate video files and to change container from vob to
mp2. But
this did not help. Maybe because I converted with option 'copy' for video and
audio
stream. I just do not want to recompress the video. My sony handycam records
compressed mpeg2 video to dvd minidisc, so I do not have the source and will
lost the
quality with second and third recompression while making dvd.
Actually I have tried a lot of programs. ManDVD, DeVeDe, QDvdAuthor, DvdStyler,
KDE
DVD Authoring Withard. I've found 2ManDVD yesterday wich is best rated on
kde-apps. I
have to tell you that your program is the best. It impressed me with usability
and
features. It's really magic tool, probably made by magic author. :) It is not
exatly
what I was searching for, but it is even much better! And all other dvd
authoring
tools are not usable at all. The only problem with your program is that it's a
bit
buggy. Even if the bug is external, the user will not understand that. He just
see
the result - the program does not work. I think, if you focuse on stability and
problems preventing then your program should become a most popular.
KDE DVD Authoring Withard has feature called 'check compatibility'. I think
this is
the most simple way to prevent such dvdauthor related problems. This tool said:
The file
/home/raa/media/video/dr.vob
contained no errors, but it did generate 1240974 warnings. Correct display on
DVD
players can not be guaranteed.
Would you like to view the warnings?
It is also possible to propose the user to convert video to some compatible
format.
Maybe to dv or another lose-less format, or by providing seletioon to user. It
should
not be too hard to add some button that calls ffmpeg or similar, right? But the
user
will be prevented from having problems.

I've tried another mpeg4 files with no luck. It does not work with any regular
video
files. The log file looks like following:

Basic video plugin in KMediaFactory supports only dvd compatible mpeg2 ps files.
Currently there is no plugin that converts video. Now that there is kross
support it
could be programmed with e.g. python or ruby, if there is somebody interested of
doing one.
