Examples for dvd-slideshow.

There are 5 different examples which are designed to help users understand the slideshow making process. I recommend going through each one in series because each one gets progressively more complex, and assumes you understand the previous techniques. Also, I TRY to update these with each revision of dvd-slideshow to demonstrate any new features.

Using dir2slideshow to illustrate the whole process.

If you want to follow along at home, you can download the example packge with all the media files from the download section of the web page. Each example directory contains a file called "runtest.sh" which is a shell script that will run everything for you. Here's an example runtest.sh from the "complex" example:

#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -d dvd_fs_complex ] ; then
mkdir dvd_fs_complex
else
rm -rf dvd_fs_complex/*
fi
dvd-slideshow -b background.jpg -n 'test complex' -f complex.txt
dvd-menu -b background.jpg -o dvd_fs_complex -t 'Test Complex' -t 'Test Complex 2' -f test_complex.xml -f test_complex.xml -n 'Complex slideshow DVD'
#xine dvd:"`pwd`/dvd_fs_complex/" &
