Dear all Mandvd users! I can't find any time at the moment to do any coding in ManDvd. I got to much to do in my new work. If someone would like to continue or fork this program, please do.
Until I got some time again I would like to say thanks to all feedback and help to all of you, packers and translators etc.
Until we meet again, have a good time.

There are no rules in the Makefile to install/uninstall the program, I'll try to fix that. Actually I did, but the where run over bye qmake I think. Next week I might find some time to deal with it. In the meanwhile, just run make and move the binary to /usr/bin or else and you should be able to start it from terminal.

Hello, can you please explain a little more, I'm not sure I get it right:

What do you mean by "masks are overlapping"? I don't understand that.
>- it would be fine if I could save the
>way I rename chapters (usefull if >there are many tests before final >version)
You mean you want to save all chapters on the DVD menu? At present no menu setup is saved in a project I'm afraid.
>- it would be fine if I could move or >add/remove one chapter to move it in
>the menu without erasing all the menu
You like to mark one chapter in the menu and be able to remove it!? Right?
>- I sometimes get errors like:
>ERR: Cannot jump to chapter 21 of <title 1, only 20 exist
>dvdauthor.xml contains:
><button name="0"> jump title 1; ></button>
><button name="1"> jump title 1 chapter >2; </button>
><button name="2"> jump title 1 chapter >3; </button>
>...
><button name="19"> jump title 1 >chapter >20; </button>
><button name="20"> jump title 1 >chapter 21; </button>
>It starts from chapter 2??? curious!
Maybe there is a limit of a maximum of 20 chapters? Always the same, right?
best

Hello! Actually I have never used the slideshow part of the program myself. I have only tried it once now while checking out the source. The generation failed for me to, but from what I could see, it was something due to dvd-slideshow not working okey with ffmeg anymore. Something with a "K" missing. I'll look in to it when I can!

QT4, well, I think its a good idea, but I got the feeling it will take some time to do it. Maybe this is something the original author have in mind? Else, I might try to do this, but not right now due to limited time.
I think its good if there is a discussion about what do with this program and what direction to move it. I think it would need a proper environment for bug reports (takes far too much time for me alone to find them), a svn repository etc. What I have done here are just some improvements I wanted myself and I thought it was a good idea to share it. The interest of this has been much more than my wildest imagination :-) And much more fun then I thought also.
I don't know what you mean with an "official release", but I'm open to all ideas and how to do that. Anyhow, my next release 2.5-4, I hope will be quite stable and could somewhat be considered official.
If there is going to be a 2.6, I have some thoughts about checking out Blue-Ray. Any thoughts about that? Anyone? But I cant promise anything before checking it out some first. But if there is interest, why not. - Jul 05 2008
