dvdauthor version .7 change for video format (NTSC vs PAL)

[tovid-suite]

From hanso...@gmail.com on December 04, 2010 18:12:11

I recently updated to dvdauthor version 7 (from debianmultimedia). As a result, the tovid dvd option begins throwing the following error: INFO: no default video format, must explicitly specify NTSC or PAL and when trying to build a table of contents: ERR: no video format specified for VMGM I found the changelog for the latest version of dvdauthor at https://github.com/ldo/dvdauthor/blob/master/ChangeLog It specifies the following: "Video format no longer has hard-coded default to NTSC, unless you invoke configure with --enable-default-video-format=NTSC. You can also configure with --enable-default-video-format=PAL to default to PAL."

The latest dvdauthor uses the specifications found at: http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Video_Format_Pref

Hi. Last night all was fine, and encoding and authoring in tovid GUI was without hassle as usual, but after upgrading Ubuntu to 11.04, this has changed. While it still encodes without error, it fails in the last part of the authoring to DVD folder, with the message:

ERR: no video format specified for VMGM

I have tried suggestions I've found, like adding "export VIDEO_FORMAT=PAL" to ~/.bashrc (and another bashrc file buried in /etc) to no avail.

Any ideas what I can do to correct this situation? Cheers

Try current SVN. This issue should be fixed. Let me know how it goes.
