I looked around for an image manipulation library that has all I want (for now). After discarding ImageMagick and DevIL (OpenIL), I found FreeImage(Plus) to be the best choice for me.
I will implement it in the QImageHelper class and make sure qdvdauthor also works without this library in a basic state.

Further more, I created a new logo. Hope you like it.

Also for those folks who can't wait for qdvdauthor to be finished, here are two links which describe the manual steps involved in creating a VideoDVD.

• Linux Journal's DVD Authoring
• And a neat doc for also generating slideshows on a DVD titled : DVD Editing/Authoring/Burning with Linux

Hello, so after playing around a little I decided to put some code on this page. Please note that this code is actually pre-alpha, as it only supports a very limited set of conditions.
The first beta version should be more complete in its functionality (of course) and also enabel Joe Average to generate a normal Video DVD menu.

Please go to the download page Here

Okay, I will put some ugly screenshots up ASAP ... Promise.

What is possible so far with qdvdauthor ?

• You can generate the main menu.
• You can contribute to qdvdauthor.
• That's it for now !!!

Please remember I started this project a few days ago :)

All you need to compile qdvdauthor is a recent Qt library (>3.2), mjpeg-tools and dvdauthor.
Later on in this project you should also have mencoder(mplayer), and or xine and ImageMagick to scale videos/images.
I would also recommend the GIMP for image creation/manipulation to be used as menu backgrounds. But that is your choice.

Stay tuned ...

Varol ;)
