Since upgrading to 7.0-BETA2 most of my python based programs fail with
Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped). It seems to be limited to gui based
programs using Gtk or Qt. Any idea what's going on there? Hints on how to

What are the differences between 6.3 and 7.0? Which should be considered the
standard upgrade path from 6.2 release? Is there a compelling reason to

tovid takes any multimedia video file as input, and produces (S)VCD or

The output of tovid then becomes an input to makevcd or makedvd, and so on.
