Issues adding movies on version 1.1100

Hello Everyone,
My search for a usable DVD authoring program on Linux has landed me here.  But I
am having some issues even getting started.

On the following window, I click on the "Add/Organize Videos" button:
http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/QDVDAuthor-Screenshots-0001.jpg

Here is the window that opens up:
http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/QDVDAuthor-Screenshots-0002.jpg

>From that windows I browse to the first group of videos that I want to add.  Here
is a screenshot:
http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/QDVDAuthor-Screenshots-0003.jpg
(On that screenshot, one of the thumbnails is missing.  On my system at least,
this appears to be a random issue.)

I select all of the thumnails.  Here is a screenshot of what that looks like:
http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/QDVDAuthor-Screenshots-0004.jpg

I then proceed to click "OK"

The result looks like this:
http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/QDVDAuthor-Screenshots-0005.jpg

Of course, that is exactly what I wanted.  BUT, when I attempt to add more
videos, using the same method described above, USUALLY nothing happens.  Meaning
that no videos are added.  I say USUALLY nothing happens, because sometimes I am
able to add a second group of videos, but I have never been able to add any more
than that.  I have not been able to see if there is any rhyme or reason to my
intermittent success at add more than the initial group of videos.

My system configuration is as follows:
Intel Xeon 2.0GHZ QuadCore CPU
8 Gigs of RAM
NVidia Video card, using the proprietary NVidia driver.  The card has 512MB of
RAM on it.
2 320GB SATA Harddrives

Any help you can give me (or that I can give you) is greatly appreciated.

Steven,

I like your screenshot tours. It makes it soooooo much easier for me to
help you :)

In order to add more groups you can use the drag'n drop interface in the
files dialog.

You might want to watch to explain how to use the FewClickWizard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz0r05yfgcw

Or if you want to manually create the DVD
... hmmm, you know what, I have not yet created a video on how to use
the DIalogFiles, and DialogImages dialogs yet ... shame on me. I'll do
this the next couple of days.
in the meantime the FewClickWIzard - video above will also show the
usage of the two dialogs in question ( for videos and or images/slideshows )

Varol :)
Ps, let me know if you need more help.

Hello Varol
I first tried the above using QDVDAuthor built from a fresh copy from CVS on
September 23rd.  Clicking on the "Project Wizard" icon (the same icon that I saw
clicked in your video on YouTube) resulted in an IMMEDIATE segmentation fault.  
Right now I am building again from a brand new copy, this time I chose to add
the debug information.  I'll try that version again later.

So, I tried an older version: 1.0900.  This time I got farther :)

I browsed to my first group of videos, selected all of them, and clicked "Okay"  
So I clicked on "Add/Group Videos" again to add some more videos.  Again, I
clicked "Okay"  This time no videos were added.  Since I did not know if I was
supposed to click "Finish" and go through the same steps again, I clicked
"Finish"  The result was a segmentation fault.  Something appeared to be about
to happen in the GUI, but the segfault happened to quickly for me to take a
screenshot of it.

So, I'm going to try all of this again with the new build I just did that has
the debug information added...  I'll email you again when I find out what
happens.

Hello Everyone
The result was exactly the same.  Unfortunately, checking "Compile with debug
info does not seem to have done anything.  I ran "qdvdauthor &>
/home/steve/qdvdauthor.txt" from a terminal, and when the segfault occured, I
checked the file.  It was completely empty.

So, I don't know how to proceed from here.

Steven,

Sorry for this and thank you for trying to help.

So with the last build from CVS you have, can you please
> ulimit -c unlimited
> qdvdauthor

and once it crashes
> gdb qdvdauthor ./core
gdb# info thr
gdb# bt

and send me the output. Also which Linux version are you using ?

Thanks again,

Varol Okan

Hello Again :)
Well, that fixed everything relating to QDVDAuthor specifically.  Thank you VERY
much!  But now I do have another problem to run by you (relating to QSlideshow.  
To avoid confusion, I will start a new thread,

Thank you again for your help.
