Thank you for your suggestions, i know the article and so i know qdvdauthor.
I don't know if qdvdauthor is capable of creating a animated menu from a series of pictures. My picture source is a image i downscaled to the size of 720x1000. I have manually extracted pictures from this one with the size of 720*576, increasing the offset in x-axis pixel by pixel. The animated menu should play these pictures in a row sliding from one side to the other and back repeatedly. By the way is it possible to automate the extraction of the smaller pictures, because it is a lot of work doing it manually with the gimp. I tried it manually just to find out if i could get an mpg-file out of it, but for the whole thing i have to do this 380 times. Or are there easier possibilities to create such a sliding menu. I hope you all understand what i mean, my english is not the best and it is very difficult for me to explain it. Thank you in advance. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
