    So I followed the FFMPEG Instructions to a tee on how to make a DVD.
    All I need is the Video and Audio TS files and I can take it from there.
    However, I never get them!!
    I'm going from an AVI to DVD FFMPEG with subtitles.
    Simple enough.
    All the setting are correct. Preview is great.
    I encode.
    Frustration!!!
    All I get is the following 3 files "filename.mpeg" "filename.s.mpeg" "filename.xml"
    what the..????
    Where are my TS Files!!
    Any help is appreciated.

    Anybody?
    Instead of TS files I keep getting just an mpeg 2 file with no subtitles.
    (As well as the other 2 mentioned files which I have no idea what they do)
    If I place only the mpeg file in the author DVD section it will make the audio and video ts files.
    However, if I place the .sub file with it, I just get the ding of death and tells me I have an error.
    The movie looks great and plays well, but without the subtitles, its useless.
    Anyway to place the SUB file into the TS files without re-incoding?
    Better yet, and back to my original question, how do I take an AVI and a SUB file and make them into TS files?
    I have to be missing some sort of option? can somebody post what you would use so I could try it?
    Im using a 0.0.9x r2 on a 10.4.8 ppc G5 Mac. Not the Intel version.
    I re-installed a freshly downloaded copy of ffmpegx to see if that was the problem.
    I also made sure to download the binaries on Firefox and not Safari.
    I have to be missing some sort of option

    Try converting the SUB to SRT first.

    Where would I do this? Does ffmpeg have this capability?
    Thanks.

    SubCleaner, Sub2Srt, maybe others as well.
    Note that there are 2 versions of the SubViewer SUB format, and I'm not sure if these converters take both versions into account.

    Well, it turns out the problem was the .SUB file
    I converted it to SRT with no luck.
    I kept getting an unable to read SUB or SRT file in the info pane.
    All I kept getting was the mpg2 movie which was fine.
    I finally went out and got another subtitle file for the same movie from another source.
    The file was an SRT.
    I changed the name to match the old SUB file with the SRT extension.
    I then authored the mpg and srt file and SUCCESS!
    My TS folders which open fine in the mac DVD player were created.
    So now I wonder if the AVI/SRT to DVD would work in creating TS folders.
    I will try tonight.
    I would just rather go from AVI/SRT--->TS rather than AVI--->MPG/SRT--->TS
