    Hello everyone!

    I need to convert video in format that can be played on DVD player (that installed in autobus) from usb stick.
    But I have no access to this DVD player in order to test it with different files(( Only I have - is the file that played well on this DVD player.

    I've tried to convert my video using FormatFactory app, but there's not enough option to set the same format for encoding as on the good file.
    Also I've installed ffmeg and tried to convert with it, but I had not enough skill with this soft, so I decided to ask some help here..

    Can you help me pls if possible with command for ffmpeg in order to convert my video to same format as in good file pls?

    In the past when this was popular (20 years ago) the main things affecting compatibility were these two
    which had to be set like this. Lucky, this came with the defaults :
    Code:
    Format settings, QPel                    : No
    Format settings, GMC                     : No warppoints
    Other things I can remember - the resolution had to be 720x576 or less,
    bit rate not too high (I used to use constant Quantizer 4 in Xvid)
    and either mp3 or ac3 audio.

    You can use Avidemux to set it up

  3. Why do you want to encode it, if it plays well on the DVD Player?

    Use clever FFmpeg-GUI.
    Load your video, click main, click encode videostream, set video encoding like in the pic (red marks), click encode.

    If done, click encode audiostream, set the encoder to ac3, like in the pic (red mark), click encode.

    If done, click multiplex, the new created streams are shown in green, already selected, set avi as container, click multiplex.

    Done. You'll find your new compatible video in the target folder.
