Tips for dealing with dvd-slideshow
I'm on my children's and youth camps now many pictures with my digicam. From these images I create now increasingly slideshows with music background and explanatory texts, which I burn then to families on DVD. This is a nice memory and makes sure that my free time do not fall as quickly forgotten.
The program that I use for creating slide shows isdvd-slideshow
. This program is there a documentation
with some examples. One should make absolutely sure which version of the program you used for the commands and syntax, but differs significantly from one another. Click For a version below 0.8.0 must be on the main page on "past releases. Now you can get the appropriate documentation to his version.
I want to in this article only to special features in Fedora Core 5 received, since the above-mentioned documentation to answer any other questions.
The yum under
is clearly preserved version of the program under the current version 0.8.1. She brings many problems that have since been eliminated already. For example, the subtitles do work not. Therefore, I recommend immediately download the latest version
. This then can be installed easily when the dependencies before using "yum install dvd-slideshow" are resolved. After that, they remove it with "yum remove dvd-slideshow. 
The background music tends rather to oversteer, which is probably mainly due to the AC3 encoding. So either the "ac3 = 0" in the slide show file to use (then the sound as MP2 encoded. They may, however, not all DVD authoring programs.) Or "normalize" the tracks before, that is, lower the volume, for example with the program audacity. Another problem is is that the PAL video format dvd-slideshow
is reproduced somewhat truncated. All around is a part missing. For this problem I have not found a definitive solution. Actually, should provide the option "-s widthxheigt" for help. I have not yet managed it. Is also not bad. One must only remember when fades subtitles. Which may not be too long, otherwise just missing a part.
The program itself, I find it very successful. I can use it to create really successful slide shows with nice effects.
