  1. Hello major,
    please help: recorded a film from German TV ARD from sat DVB with a dreambox (ts file), demuxed with ProjectX to *.mpv and *.mp2.

    data of video *.mpv displayed in ProjectX:
    -> video basics: 720*576 @ 25fps @ 0.7031 (16:9) @ 1490800bps, vbvBuffer 91

    result after trying to create dvd image:

    *.mpg created ok, correct view in Quicktime as 16:9 (in Finder also in QT size is 720x404 - ??) - but no dvd image or folder structure.

    Sizzle creates working DVD - but I want to use ffmpegX, of course

    dvdauthor problem? - thanks, Martin59

    Try to run the "Author" tool on the mpg file.

  3. Major,
    thanks for fast answering.
    In the meantime I succeeded.
    1. in ProjectX I initially let the option "DAR" 0.7031 (16:9) unchecked (because I did not need it in my ol' windows days with the ProjectX/IfoEdit combo) - and got a vertically stretched picture, no 16:9 pan&scan
    (The true problem was: the first 2 GOPs I choosed to demux were still 4:3, so the whole film was interpreted as 4:3 although it changed just on the 3rd GOP to 16:9 - so no need to check that box if I started with the first 16:9 GOP)
    2. after checking the option, I did a mistake in renaming the files (let a space in file name). see this line:

    INFO: [mplex] File /Filme/demux/Frau 16_9.mpv looks like an MPEG Video stream.

    corrected that: authoring with ffmpegX runs smoothly, creates perfect DVD folders&image
    3. so no need to use the "author" recommendation (btw which only works on valid file names, too).
    Lots of thanks - works excellent now.

    BTW which file names are valid? no spaces- ok; ol' DOS rules 8.3? UNIX newbie ...

    Best is to use letters, numbers, and underscores only.
