You need to install /usr/ports/devel/popt and /usr/ports/devel/glib12 (run "ln -s /usr/local/bin/glib12-config /usr/local/bin/glib-config" so the ./configure script can find our glib) to get it to compile under -STABLE and -CURRENT.... http://www.munich-vision.de/vcd/ Will compile under FreeBSD, but forgot if I had to tweak anything. Havent burned an image made by these programs yet. http://www.nocrew.org/software/vcdpad/index.html a tool for padding frames to the appropriate length for vcdimager and mkvcdfs. Very basic tool, no tweaks to get it to compile. http://www.vcdgear.com/ a much more advanced tool for converting VCD stuff, has a lot of nice features so its useful for more than just padding frames. Has a native FreeBSD binary for vcdgear 1.5 (version 2.0 is windows only at this point), doesnt look like they distribute source. I have burned a few test VCDs made by vcdimager and am having trouble getting my standalone Sony DVD player recognizing the VCDs (the author says my DVD player may not like the CD-R media I am using) but they work with SimpleVCD for MacOS ($10 shareware) and CyberLink PowerVCD for Windows. Other people claim success with other players. Also, vcdimager is fussy about the MPEG format you use as source for the VCD tracks. The only format that I got to play cleanly was: Video 352x288 resolution Audio MPEG-1 Layer 2 48kbit/s 44100Hz mono Your milage may vary on all this, I have only been working with this for a few days. I cant wait to get my fxtv mpeg capture problems solved so I can make some nice VCDs.... -J To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
