dvdauthor segfaults on Ubuntu 10.04

[Markos Gogoulos]

Binary package hint: dvdauthor

Hi all,

dvdauthor segfaults on Ubuntu 10.04 (version 0.6.14 from package, but also 0.6.18 from source).

DVDAuthor::dvdauthor, version 0.6.14.
Build options: gnugetopt magick iconv freetype

user@user:~/Desktop$ dvdauthor -t -o dvd/ -t testing/arxeio.mpg
WARN: Skipping sector, waiting for first VOBU...

... (after 000's WARNS)...

WARN: Partial sector read (808 bytes); discarding data.
STAT: VOBU 0 at 0MB, 1 PGCS
Segmentation fault

The same happens when I install dvdauthor 0.6.18 from source. It compiles but at the end segfaults when run.

Any ideas?
Best regards,
Markos Gogoulos

Could you try to reproduce this on Maverick?

[Markos Gogoulos (mgogoulos)]

Looks like I was trying dvdauthor with unsuitable files, and the program was segfaulting instead of exiting with error, so not actually an Ubuntu bug.

Also, Lawrence D'Oliveiro of dvdauthor has patched this on trunk.

Cheers

Well, closing this.
