PeasyDisc v1.6 introduces a tool for building DVD slideshows. Look for it under the Video tab. You give the program a set of JPEG images and it glues them into an MPEG video. You can then optionally burn the video to DVD.
Things to note:
1. You must also install the peasydisc_extras-1.1.pet attached below.
2. Slideshow Builder uses /usr/bin/dvdauthor, but the version in Wary is broken. Get a working version from another Puppy like Lupu.
3. If you plan to run the slideshow on a computer screen or through a digital projector, you may get better results using the SLIDESHOW.VOB instead of the DVD disc. There may be a difference in aspect ratio between the two. Or experiment with 4:3 versus 16:9 mode to find the best display for your output device.
Please test. I would like to know how it works with different DVD players and TVs, particularly PAL systems and widescreen displays.
Here is a quick recipe.
1. Under Basic, set up an Output Folder.
2. Go to Video.
3. Set the Seconds per Frame.
4. Click New to start a new project.
5. Select a JPEG file and click Add.
6a. Repeat Step 5 for all files in the slideshow.
6b.These files will remain in the project folder until you click New again, so you can add more files in another session.
7. If you want an audio track, select an MP3 file.
8. Click Build.
9. Click View. Locate the SLIDESHOW.ISO and SLIDESHOW.VOB files.
See the discussion
here about using PeasyDisc to create a YouTube clip of an audio track.
1. Set "Seconds per frame" to the length of the MP3. You can find its length by running the Check a Track function under Tools.
2. In "Add a JPEG image", select a background JPEG. Or make a blank JPEG under Tools.
3. Make the clip compatible with YouTube
Code: Select all
ffmpeg -i SLIDESHOW.VOB -vf scale=320:240 youtube.avi
