dvd-slideshow fails in hardy

Could you please test if new version in Intrepid solved your problem?

After installing the Intrepid's deb now I get the error's message:
[dvd-slideshow] ERROR during ffmpeg execution!

In Intrepid I resolved adding a 'k' after the number of audio_bitrate in /usr/bin/dvd-slideshow. (slideshow version 0.8.0)

1) sudo gedit /usr/bin/dvd-slideshow
2) search the three 'audio_bitrate=' lines and do these changes:

audio_bitrate=224 -> audio_bitrate=224k
audio_bitrate=128 -> audio_bitrate=128k
audio_bitrate=192 -> audio_bitrate=192k

As reported in bug #294502, dvd-slideshow v. 0.8.1 fixes this problem.

Changelog 0.8.1

Bug Fixes:
    * Allow "widescreen=1" in input file.
    * Changed "sleep 0.1s" to "sleep 1s" for better compatibility.
    * Fixed hms2seconds with leading zeros (thanks Arnd Baecker)
    * Better (larger) resizing for kenburns in high-quality mode.
    * Smoother scroll effect in normal mode (fixed rounding error)
    * Font search follows links. Thanks Jim Potter!
    * Change LANG=C to LANG=POSIX to try to fix radix problems with printf
    * Added some code to only process one crossfade in the background at a time.
    * Fixed problem with subtitles- last one was not being displayed.
    * Added "k" to audio bitrate arguments to ffmpeg (thanks Tony!) <<<<<------------------------------------------------------
    * Fixed bug where subtitles would not show in crop and kenburns effects.
    * Fixed bug with audio timing when using scroll & kenburns.
    * removed -size option from crop function because large images were improperly cropped.
    * added -M option to mplex calls (for some reason it was removed)
    * Fix audio problem when passing an .avi file

Version 0.8.1 needs to be backported.

I forgot to mention dvd-slideshow changelog page:
http://dvd-slideshow.sourceforge.net/wiki/Changelog_0.8.1

dvd-slideshow 0.8.2 is now available in Jaunty and it will probably be backported in Hardy and Intrepid soon.

Reopened because version 0.8.2 can't be backported due to different dependencies.
There will be an updated version of 0.7.5 proposed for a SRU for Hardy.
Already done for Intrepid (see bug #294502)

This bug was fixed in the package dvd-slideshow - 0.8.0-0.0ubuntu1.1

---------------
dvd-slideshow (0.8.0-0.0ubuntu1.1) intrepid-proposed; urgency=low

  * Added debian/patches/02_dvd-slideshow_ffmpeg_audiobitrate.dpatch to fix
    ffmpeg commands (LP: #232148).
  * Added depends on libavcodec-unstripped-51 (LP: #294502).
