Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Varsha  - DVD Menu creation utility now available for OS/2 & eComStation

Hi All,

I've just added a link to Varsha to http://smedley.info/os2ports.html

Varsha is a GUI based DVD authoring tool (originally) for Linux.  You can 
make DVDs from your mpeg files   Using Varsha, you can also create menus 
incorporating backdrop of still pictures as well as moving video background.

Whilst this isn't a port as such, as Varsha is a java based application, 
the original distribution at sourceforge had issues on OS/2 and would hang 
during processing some of the files.

I've made some changes/hacks to the java code to get it working on OS/2 & 
eComStation.  It has been tested with Innotek Java 1.4.2 and Goldencode 
Java 1.4.1

There are still some limitations.  For example, there is no OS/2 port of 
the slideshow program Varsha uses, so making slideshows won't work 
currently.  Also, I haven't yet made any changes so that Varsha can use 
dvddao to burn the generated ISO to DVD.  That will come depending on how 
much interest there is in this package.

readme.os2 inside the zip file contains rough instructions on what is 
required to get this going.  All feedback is appreciated.  Bugs can be 
reported via http://mantis.smedley.info

Thanks,
