gbDVDenc: F.A.Q.


Q. Why do I see italian language? I'm not italian!
A. Gambas defaults to the main language (italian) if cannot find a translation.
Gambas uses the environmental variables LANG and LANGUAGE to check your system's language.
To force gbDVDenc to use the english translation try those commands to launch the application:

LANG=en_EN;LANGUAGE=en_EN:en;gbDVDenc
LANG=en_GB;LANGUAGE=en_GB:en;gbDVDenc
LANG=en_US;LANGUAGE=en_US:en;gbDVDenc
Q. Can I install gbDVDenc from sources?
A. Sure! :-)
  1. Download the gbDVDenc's source package from sakya.altervista.org/gbdvdenc
  2. Decompress the package
  3. Launch Gambas
  4. Open the gbDVDenc project
  5. Press Ctrl + Alt + M (or choose Make executable from the Project menu)
  6. Copy the executable gbDVDenc in your path (/usr/local/bin)
gbDVDenc is now installed.
In a console just write gbDVDenc to launch the application.
Q. gbDVDenc looks for DVD in /dev/dvd, but it's not my DVD reader.
A. Go in the misc tab, set the dvd device option with your dvd reader's device (/dev/hdc, /dev/hdb...) and choose "Save as default config file" from the file menu.
The next time you'll launch gbDVDenc, it will look for DVD in the correct device.
Q. I have audio/video synchronization problem. How can I fix it?
A. Try to set this MEncoder parameters in the misc tab (both for audio and video):

-noskip -mc 0 -vf harddup
