Description Tung NGUYEN 2005-10-16 16:39:14 UTC 
Version:           kipi-plugins 0.1.0-rc1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

1) For exemple, if I enter "/home/anonymous/non-existent-folder/output.mpg" for the MPEG output filename then the encoding process fails at the "Merging MPEG flux" step with the message: "**ERROR: [mplex] Could not open for writing: /home/anonymous/non-existent-folder/output.mpg".

Is it possible to display a message to ask the user to enter a valid path before launching the encoding process ?

2) Same thing for the audio input file: Is it possible to display a message to ask the user to enter a valid filename when it does not exist ?

digiKam has a new Video Slideshow tool based on QtAV and ffmpeg which do not
have this problem.
