## Re: DVDStyler on Wheezy

Thu Mar 21, 2013 2:09 am

I installed refracta squeeze in hopes that I could get dvdstyler and avidemux up and running similar to what I have going with gnome on the other box. DVDstyler works but . . . the currently available version is 1.8.2.1-03 while the one I have on gnome is 1.8.2-00 (I never upgraded it). Anyway, in the newer version, styler wants to transcode/remux the mpgs that worked fine on the earlier version. Transcoding takes a LOT of time and processor power - something I would rather not deal with. To make matters worse, I cannot find the earlier styler .debs anywhere online.
And on wheezy, Bombono is now not working like it did a few months ago - I can''t get the menu to function properly. I guess my next test would be to install the latest refracta (or Debian) wheezy to see if I can get Bombono working again.
This is all quite depressing as the new series is arriving in a few days - 30 episodes - and I want to start working in a consistent and stable environment.
Currently not a happy camper . . .

Your old wheezy is the latest wheezy if you update it. No need to reinstall unless you did something weird to your system and it's irretrievably lost.

Yes, it is currently updated. In desperation, I even upgraded multimedia but that didn't help. FWIW, I couldn't get Bombono working properly on a vanilla debian wheezy either so it's not something specific to refracta.
Obviously, I need to take a snapshot of gnome/squeeze asap because if it goes down, I would be totally screwed. I haven't done it yet because I don;t know that it would fit on one DVD. I would like to delete some stuff but a lot of it is locked in with the gnome meta package. I should be able to get to it Friday.

Back on topic . . . I checked an old thread I started last fall on the DVDStyler sourceforge forum and found the developer had added this comment about a week ago:

> To compile DVDStyler on Debian you need:
> 1. install wxWidgets (v2.9) (./configure --enable-media)
> 2. install wxSVG (./configure --with-wx-config=/usr/local/bin/wx-config)
> 3. install DVDStyler (./configure --with-wx-config=/usr/local/bin/wx-config)

Is that the missing piece to the puzzle?

I used each version and they all created a perfect little dvd format iso from that file with no problems. The 2.3.4 version does not seem to be able to do ac3 audio but mp2 works fine.
I organized a bit and I will leave the packages on the sourceforge site.

Thanks for returning to this little project. stevepusser has also added some posts on the thread over at FDN that you might find useful. I am going to get back to this perhaps later today after I play with snapshot on squeeze for a while.

I have finally managed to get gnome-mplayer working again on wheezy. Kinda, sorta. It will not open a DVD or iso directly but it can be done from the menu. Need to do some reading, Maybe it can be fixed. Avidemux and Audacity seem to be functioning properly and Bombono puts together a functional DVD with menu.
In any case, now that I have a functional snapshot of squeeze, I will have that to fall back on should my working squeeze fail for some reason.
Thanks for all your efforts trying to get DVDStyler working. I may play with meandean's debs again just for the heck of it but it's no longer critical as I have other options.
