Trouble with gui4ffmpeg

[SillyMe]

I am converting some TiVo files and burning them to DVD. The process I am using is briefly:
1. Edit out Commercials with Video ReDo
2. Add Menu using DVD Styler
3. Burn to DVD using ImgBurn.

I have found that the Finished DVD is playable on my newer Panasonic Player but not on my older Pioneer player. I may have to just live with this; however, it was suggested that I may be able to make my DVDs mor compatible by running the MPG file through gui4ffmpeg between steps 2 and 3.

The input file to gui4ffmpeg is 3GB and the file output is only 622MB. When I play the final file it is very blocky, like it has a very low resolution. Am I missing some setting? I have tried adding options -flags ilme+ildct -top 1 and not adding them with no difference.

Any suggestions are welcome. (I know, replace the offending player )

Please have a look in this thread:

To use gui4ffmpeg 2.1, please add a 'k' after the bitrate in the
related field in the GUI eg:

6000 -> 6000k
or
900 -> 900k

In the next version of gui4ffmpeg i'll put this automatically in the birate parameter.
