Does anyone have any ideas?

I've installed the following files:

Just a "me too". Seems pretty lame. I guess it's an upstream problem... something seems to have changed in the arguments accepted by either sox or ffmpeg and dvd-slideshow hasn't been updated to reflect these changes.

That's right.
The dvd-slideshow team solved this problem in the version 0.8.2-2.
I did a

yum remove dvd-slideshow

and installed the version I downloaded from

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=645057

That solved the problem.

Cheers. I see the bug was reported in rpmfusion a long while ago, maybe they were waiting until they updated ffmpeg or something but it's pretty poor that this has been broken for so long.

This is a ME TOO. Now for F14. Sigh
BTB: The patches attached to the bug report still seem to work fine.
