Description x3ri7yz02 2006-12-17 15:56:13 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1-r1) 
OS:                Linux

Using the "Create MPEG slide show" from within Digikam (0.9.0_rc2, KDE 3.5.5), the process completes successfully the first time it is launched.  If the encoding is re-launched (eg, after making a change to the composition of the slideshow), the encoding fails with the following debugging output:

images2mpg --with-gui  -f DVD -n PAL -d 3 -t 1 -c 000 -T /tmp/kde-USER/kipi-mpegencoderplugin-2092/ -M /usr/bin -I /usr/bin -w "/home/USER/tmp/sound-1.wav" -o "/home/USER/output.mpg" -i  "/home/USER/img/inputfiles.jpg" 

[snip - input file list was here]

Initialising...

convert: unable to open image `/tmp/kde-USER/kipi-mpegencoderplugin-2092//1166366485.black.tmp.png': No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------------

EXIT STATUS : error during encoding process.


Steps to reproduce:
1.  Use the "Create MPEG slide show" option to create a slideshow.
2.  Upon successful creation of the slideshow, press "Encode" to try and create the MPEG file again.  

Encoding process fails.

Expected behaviour:
Encoding process should launch and terminate as per first run.

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