No need to apologize . . . life happens. stevepusser figured it out. I kinda, sorta grok it but don't know whether I could actually accomplish the task. A project for another day . . .

my good deed for the year
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kyloris ... dvdstyler/
install in the following order
libwx-gtk2u-media
dvdstyler-data
dvdstyler
you can use gdebi to install the packages if you wish

WOW! Thank you, thank you!! You are my hero!!! I'll give it a try in a bit . . . after b'fast and waking up a bit more. The timing couldn't be better. I'm about to start another marathon video editing project and this means I might be able to do it on Wheezy.
Are you going to post this link over in stevepusser's thread at FDN? I can do it if you like.

Well, it installed OK. But it is not working properly. Often locking up and/or crashing. When the file browser decides to work, the mpgs are not being recognized - some codec missing but it doesn't say which one. Were you able to get it to work?

That version does seem a bit buggy. Actually all versions seem a bit buggy...
Of course I do not know what I am doing at all but downloading a mpg file and adding it as a chapter and then trying to burn it causes it to crash.
If you get a chance then run dvdstyler from a terminal and post what output you get when it crashes.
Also are you using the deb-multimedia repo or pure debian repos?
Is this a fresh install or something older? If it is older you may need to purge the wx and dvdstyler packages and start from scratch.
But I will fiddle with some other versions and see if I can get them built and working. I see stevepusser went with 2.1 version so I will start there.

The Squeeze version never crashed that I can remember.

I didn't even get that far!

Will run from terminal after lunch. I just upgraded to the new kernel with multimedia disabled. Re-enabled it and I see it wants to upgrade some stuff. I have some files from deb-multimedia but not sure what they were for. Probably Avidemux.

I'm working off a upgraded refracta-wheezy-beta2. Since I'm not big on installing and customizing, I've been waiting for stable before I pimp out my final setup.

Yea sorry I was talking about the newer versions. I am not smart enough to get the old version working on wheezy. I cannot chase everything down and end up with loose ends everywhere.
But I just uploaded the 2.1 debs and I have tested them on my messy system and they work. I actually created a dvd iso from some mpg files. I am sooo cool!
Since they are older you will probably need to uninstall the other versions first if you use gdebi to install packages. If you use dpkg then it should install the packages.
I have not tested it on a clean refracta/wheezy install but I will in a bit.
I do not use the deb-multimedia repo but I would hope no problems would occur doing so. When I do a clean install I will add the deb-multimedia repo and see if anything conflicts.

OK. I unistalled the previous versions and installed the newer ones. Then I started it from terminal and when I tried to add an mpg that I had created with avidemux it spit out endless amounts of this in red. Here's the end of it

Code:
  `[NULL @ 0x8e51400] Value -4616189618054758400.000000 for parameter 'aq_mode' out of range
  [NULL @ 0x8e51400] Value -4616189618054758400.000000 for parameter 'rc_lookahead' out of range

  [NULL @ 0x8e51400] Value -4616189618054758400.000000 for parameter 'request_sample_fmt' out of range
  [AC3 decoder @ 0x8a953e0] Value -4616189618054758400.000000 for parameter 'dmix_mode' out of range
  [avi @ 0x8e50640] decoding for stream 0 failed
  [avi @ 0x8e50640] Could not find codec parameters (Video: mpeg2video (4:2:2) (MPEG / 0x4745504D), 720x480)
  `

None of my mpgs are recognized even though they play in both mplayer and totem, are editable in avidemux, and worked in bombono.
I'm going to try two things. 1) install on a vanilla wheezy and 2) update the deb-multimedia on refracta and see what happens. (I suspect it will break the non-multimedia media apps in refracta).

Updated deb-multimedia and it didn't break anything. Unfortunately, DVDStyler still won't recognize mpgs. So I re-encoded one of the mpgs in the latest avidemux thinking it might provide the necessary format. That still didn't work but the error message changed from "Could not find codec parameters" to "unknown format". That's some sort of progress, I guess. Looks like I'll be using squeeze for the duration . . .
