DivX to VCD with ffmpegx

[vcdpete]

Major,

ffmpeg is indeed hyperfast but I have trouble playing the VCD output from it.
I encoded a DivX Film as follows:

ffmpeg -i movie.mov -y -f mpeg -vcodec mpeg1video -map 0.0:0.0 -b 1150 -s 352x288 -r 25 -g 12 -me epzs -qmin 1 -qmax 9 -hq -benchmark -vcd -acodec mp2 -ab 224 -ar 44100 -ac 2 -map 0.1:0.1 movie.mpg
Input #0, avi, from 'movie.mov':
Stream #0.0: Video: msmpeg4, 448x288, 25.00 fps, q=0-0
Stream #0.1: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, 114 kb/s
Output #0, mpeg, to 'movie.mpg':
Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg1video (hq), 352x288, 25.00 fps, q=1-9, 1150 kb/s
Stream #0.1: Audio: mp2, 44100 Hz, stereo, 224 kb/s
Stream mapping:
Stream #0.0 -> #0.0
Stream #0.1 -> #0.1

When I play it on my Cyberhome AD-L528 (which plays many VCD's I've created in other apps), the picture is often blocky and sometimes dies all together. Lip sync is definitely off. However it plays fine in Quicktime on my machine (G4 466Mhz)
I've used both the 3ivx codec and the DivX 5.0 Alpha 2 for decoding but nothing changes.
Any ideas?
Pete

If you encode DivX to VCD, why your input file is .mov? it should be .avi

Apart from that, I dont' think that ffmpeg mpeg1 output is 100% iso compliant. It does work on my DVD player, but not necessarily on all players.

If it doesn't work on your player, you have not so many options right now other than use Toast to make VCDs (it works OK with DivX sources), or wait for future ffmpeg versions.
