But then he changed then licence of his programs, the world was about to end, but people forked the software which led to "wodim" and the world continued turning. Anyway, "/opt/schily/bin" is hardcoded in k3d, you find it in "/opt/trinity/lib/libk3b.so.3". "sox" is not found on my system, too, despite the fact that sox is /usr/bin/sox and /usr/bin is included in the search path. It's no use fiddling the configfile, "sox" is simply ignored. But I don't know why k3b would need sox? "eMoviex" is ancient, too. Ages ago you could build a CD/DVD and include eMovix "bootloader" which contained a minimal linux system. Boot from the CD/DVD and you were able to play the video content of the media ... omg, wasn't it around just yesterday? Well, follow the trail in the dust: http://movix.sourceforge.net/Docs/eMoviX/ http://movix.sourceforge.net/ Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...
