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. Gilles Caulier
