ffmpeg (mpeg1) mux problems

[discostu]

Hi, using the mpeg1 (ffmpeg) codec, I can create an mpeg file but I can't mux it with an .mp2 file. I get a message saying that the mpeg1 file is an unrecognizable format. How can I remedy this and mux them together? Thanks.

You can't mux mpg, you need m2v or m1v (demux the mpg to obtain it).

Okay, it seems I was able to demux the file. But when I try to mux the newly created .m1v file with an .mp2 file I get an error that says "Too many frame drops -exiting". I'm trying to create an XVCD. Please help, thanks.

Make sure you've selected XVCD profile in the Mux tool.

I'm still having problems. I'm trying to convert a .mov file from FCP4. I get this error message below. The quality for the ffmpeg1 format is very high which is why I'm trying to use it. I'm doing a project for a friend whose dvd player won't play svcds but will play vcds and xvcds. I'd like to use the 720 x 480 video size if possible. But even here below when I use the stock vcd settings I get errors. Suggestions? Thanks a lot.
