Unfortunately this information is not enough. Please can you use the option
"-D" for debug modus. Perhaps there come more information.

Please can you test the same command, but without "-c" option (means:
default values). Can it finish successfully?

Hi,

I'm almost sure this is caused by the most recent (zillionth?) ffmpeg
API change: "-ar 128kb" passed by the older dvdwizard scripts to ffmpeg
is not valid anymore (now it should be "-ar 128k" instead, note the
absence of "b"). Please upgrade to the latest release.

Latest release of which?

After I did updates yesterday I tried to run my script. Between then and when
I started this thread a new ffmpeg rpm became available. Since I started
checking these things after reading your reply, more new (libav*) updates
have shown up in the Videolan repo, plus related and unrelated others in
Packman and other repos. I let YaST2 update everything available from my
usual repo mix that includes Videolan, Packman, home:/deltafox, Contrib, OSS,
Non-OSS, Update, Tools, Mozilla, KDE3, GoogleChrome, Debug, etc. That leaves
me with:

ffmpeg-0.6.0.25296-1.1.i586
dvdwizard-0.6.2-1.pm.2.1.noarch

Last mention of latest release on http://dvdwizard.wershofen.net/ is 0.6.2.
Is there something newer than what I have?

Since the updates, no change in the error result I wrote in this thread starter.

Yes, 0.6.3. Please go to 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdwizard/

and you will find the latest release there. You have to compile it
yourself though, if your binary repository still lacks it. The other
option is to correct manually all instances of "128kb" to "128k" with a
text editor in each script installed by dvdwizard.

Of course, as this was addressed in 0.6.3.

I think, its not 128kb but 224kb, that must be replaced by 224k or 224000.

Sorry, that is my fault. I still haven't updated
http://dvdwizard.wershofen.net/ . I will do it today.

The newest version is 0.6.3:

Since upgrading to 0.6.3, and upgrading to latest ffmpeg, libd* and several
other likely AV deps over the past few days, the only change is the error
message. Again I tried without -c and with -D. This is new full tail of
dvdwizard.log:

Recently I had almost exactly the same error message:

I figured out that my title was too long. I used a shorter title and got a successful execution.

Thank you.

I had a 35 character -T string that included 5 spaces in succession between
the last two alpha strings. Cutting that to 4 didn't work, and to 3 neither.
So I changed the original from -T to -t, and completed without any DVDwizard
errors. I wonder what the -T limit is, and why it's so short?

I tried opening the output (files in VIDEO_TS) in VLC 1.2.0-git, but it just
window resizes and jiggles and then disappears no matter which I choose.
Kaffeine plays if I choose the right file.

So, now I just point K3B to the dir containing VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS and tell
it to burn to DVD, or point to the contents of VIDEO_TS, or is either OK? If
only the VIDEO_TS content, what is the empty AUDIO_TS dir for? The only thing
I've ever done with K3B before is burn an iso. I went ahead and burned the
VIDEO_TS content to -RW, and it seems like a normally working DVD, other than
the menu references to having used DVDwizard to create it. Can that stuff be
suppressed, or at least shrunk in size?

The 5 character whitespace was collapsed to one space. Can that be prevented
when I re-burn to -R?

The DVD title is set much larger than the stream title. So less characters may 
be used for the DVD title. We don't know how much before the title output will 
be build, because this depends on the characters and the font.
