Eeek that is some system requirement.
Anyhow I managed to work out what packages I needed to install to get ppmfilter to work so I now have a nice scratchy noise filter which gives exactly the effect I was looking for.
The only missing bit now is qdvdauthor. None of the recent versions will build on Ubuntu Hoary and it looks like I will run into dependency hell if I try and upgrade the bits it needs. Breezy has it in the repository but it seems to be broken in that there is everything in the package apart from the qdvdauthor binary.
I was about to start building it on my ubuntu Breezy test system. But the updates released into the Ubuntu Breezy repository sometime last night have borked X on my test system.
So it looks like I have a choice Fix my broken test box, Try and install qdvdauthor on something else, Upgrade my main machine to Breezy or find an alternative to qdvdauthor.
I am very hesitant to upgrade my main machine to Breezy, in my experience with Ubuntu the 64bit tree lags behind the i386 one in terms of stability and package completeness.
