Ihave a quick question about containers. I am using mencoder (linux tool) to convert divx to mpeg2 files. Only problem is that mencoder cannot write mpeg2 containers. So the file ends up being a mpeg2 file in a mpeg1 container.

So I guess my question is what does this mean in the end? Would this cause any issues? It is still a mpeg2 file with the correct fps and resolution. Would this cause the dvd player to bug out and not be able to play the svcd? I was able to create the svcd with vcdimager and got a warning stating that this is a mpeg1 file. But it successfully creates the .bin/.cue file. Able to play the .bin file fine on the computer but haven't burned it and tested it out on a dvd player yet.

Just curious as to what would having a mpeg2 file in a mpeg1 container cause?

thanks

As to why I am using mencoder? It already comes with mplayer and I know how to use it and it is very fast. Would prefer just to use it instead of learning to use a new tool. -thanks again
