Re: [QDVDAuthor-users] Error message regarding video format in Q DVD Author

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

There are two ways.

1. Define the environment variable in /etc/profile (did not try yet)
VIDEO_FORMAT=NTSC
export VIDEO_FORMAT

2. Set the launch button for QDVDAuthor like this (using this),
export VIDEO_FORMAT=NTSC;  qdvdauthor

Please let me know if you still face any difficulty.
