Yes, but using it in a different environment shouldn't be much of an issue; I'm running it on gentoo for example. The install stript had to be tweaked to skip the debian specific dependancy checks. Once I've got the functionality in a reasonable state the next step would be getting rid of anything distribution specific; currently there's a couple of places where pathnames are hardcoded. Putting these in a central config file and setting them correctly on install should pretty much fix things. Requirements for mythburn where bad before I added projectx, now they're even worse:-( - java runtime - projectx - Xvfb or local X server - mjpegtools - transcode (get thumbnails from the video streams, future use for tcrequant, make gop index) - imageMagick (image manipulation for DVD menus) - dvdauthor - perl - mysql (uses mysql commandline to get some info from the database) - mythweb (link to user interface via web/php hooks is added to mythweb menu) - bc (some frame ==> timecode coversions) - cdrtools (for creating iso images) - dvd+rw-tools (for burning to DVD) Beware of potential ImageMagic + dvdauthor version mismatches: dvdauthor 0.6.11 doesn't like ImageMagick > 6.0.7.x So you either have to stick with the older version of ImageMagick or use a 0.6.12 prerelease of dvdauthor. User interface is completely seperate from funtionality; the php stuff is just used to build a single commandline which is used to start the actual DVD creation. > Does it require the database to extract the cutlists?

There's a seperate script that does the commerical cutting (mpegcut-px). Most of the code comes from mpeg2cut. It doesn't access the datbase itself but expects to find the cutlist in a file [which mythburn generates anyway for use as chapter markers]. Format is just what you'd get from "select cutlist from recorded", the script rewrites that to create a projectx cutlist. Bye, Martin
