I used to compile my own DVDStyler when the Packman version crashed but in this case I need to fix it. You should use rpmbuild to build 
local builds whenever you can. Install the source rpm - as root "zypper si DVDStyler" zypper may indicate that certain required packages 
are missing, if so "zypper in missingpackage". Change to the directory /usr/src/packages then
"rpmbuild -bb -D "jobs 2" SPECS/DVDStyler.spec" the "jobs 2" indicates the number of simultaneous jobs that make can use and for maximum 
speed should be the same number as your cpu's cores, if you have an old single core cpu (even a celeron is dual core nowadays) that doesn't 
even support hyperthreading set the number to 1.
After this process has completed successfully you will find the rpms in RPMS/x86_64 or on a 32 bit system RPMS/i586. If you want to install 
via yast create your own repository after cd'ing to RPMS "createrepo /usr/src/packages/RPMS" and then
"zypper ar /usr/src/packages/RPMS local" the name local can be anything that you wish to call the repository and is the one you will use 
for installation of the package. This is the safest way to build local packages and makes it easy to change to whichever version of the 
package you wish to use.
