I can't add MP4s. What am I doing wrong?

I have tried to make a DVD with a file on a network hard disk, but it was impossible. After I have copied the file to my computer, but kmediafactory is complaining about that: "you can only select local file"

COmpiling of kmediafactory 0.6.0 fails with some errors on the developing version of Fedora 10 (aka Rawhide): Quote:

Here is the error message I get from the compilation on Debian Sid using kmediafactory.0.6.0: [ 66%] Building CXX object plugins/template/CMakeFiles/kmediafactory_template.dir/templatepluginsettings.o Linking CXX shared module ../../lib/kmediafactory_template.so [ 66%] Built target kmediafactory_template Scanning dependencies of target simple.kmft make[2]: *** Pas de règle pour fabriquer la cible « plugins/template/simple/simple.kmft », nécessaire pour « plugins/template/simple/CMakeFiles/simple.kmft ». Arrêt. make[1]: *** [plugins/template/simple/CMakeFiles/simple.kmft.dir/all] Erreur 2 Any help will be appreciated. Thank you Helionis

I've tried to create a dvd with a custom background image, but kmf doesn't show it. As backgound there's only a dark grey plain image. I've test it with several images .jpg .png, in different previews and the result is the same. The dark grey background is seen in the preview and in the final dvd. The dvd is created ok and works fine. I'm using: - Ubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn - Kmediafactory 0.5.1 (there's another way to report bugs?)

I tried to install KMediaFactory, but I have run into a snag. I made the attempt using "./configure" as I was supposed to, but was greeted with the following message: "Invalid configuration `i686-pc-linux-': machine `i686-pc-linux' not recognized" Does anyone know how to get around this? I should mention that when I downloaded the Bzipped Tar archive of this program, I opened it using 'ark' and saved it as a Gzip file. I am also using Linspire 5.0.

ImageMagick yields an error: Non-conforming drawing primitive definition `rectangle' Setting LANG to English fixes the problem. I think you should change the LANG variable. But simply unsetting it does not work. My default is "de_DE.UTF-8". If I unset the variable, the strings are not rendered correctly anymore. I have to set LANG to "en_US.UTF-8" to make ImageMagick work and render the strings properly.

From the site: "Import any file supported by ffmpeg and convert it to DVD compatible video." I tried to use a divx-avi, but it only complained about this in the log: "Skipping sector, wating for first VOBU...". So that doesn't seem to work, that's a shame. I am looking for a app that can encode all mplayer- or xine-supported videofiles to DVD. I also like to be able to move videos into chapters or titles and to include subtitles. I thought I've found it, but no :-(. Allthough subtitles are working. So I will continue use DeVeDe, allthough I can use this to create menu's, but there are more apps like that. A pitty, I thought I've found a all-in-one-solution.

Hi. When running make I'm getting the following error and I can't seem to fix it.

Thanks.

I saw the screenshots and looks impressive and, besides, doesn't require transcode (I never found a way to install it in my Kubuntu Breezy Distribution). There are some differencies between the libraries in Fedora and in Kubuntu, so I couldn't make it work. Are you planning to release a Debian based version?

I added a mpg to the project, named it etc. When I hit start it produces all the right components but the movie isn't included.
