Hi there, I'm relatively new to encoding on a Mac - I tried to convert a .avi (DIVX) 624x256 12bpp 23.976 fps 622.4kpps -
to a dvd ffmpeg - mpeg2 720x480 4000 kbps 23.976 fps
Quicktime is decoding - the output is autosized to DVD 16:9 framerate NTSC film
Anyway - I ran the encode and the following files came out
title.mpv - about 3gig
title.ac3 -
title.mpg - about 3 gig
title.mpg.DVD folder containing AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS
BUT
VIDEO_TS contains only VTS_01_1.VOB which is about 19mb ???
I can't play that VIDEO_TS file thru apple DVD player
quicktime plays the .mpg without sound (even though QT A3 codec is installed)
VLC plays .mpg no probs with sound - also plays the VTS_01_1.VOB which is about the first 5 minutes of the film
Questions: Can I just throw away title.ac3 and title.mpv as I assume they are the demuxed audio and video?
Where did the rest of my VIDEO_TS file go?
I tried deleting the title.mpg.DVD and then reauthoring the .mpg file in the ffpegX tools -> author section and it produced another title.mpg.DVD file with exactly the same problem
Any ideas? - Also can i change the .mpg into a DVDr format?
thx in advance

thx for the help, retried it and it worked fine, just a couple of Qs:
when i drop the .avi file into ffmpegx and select dvd ffmpeg as the output source, the output framerate shows as:
ffmpeg mpeg2, 720x480, 4000 kbps, 23.976 fps, no crop
Is this already DVD compliant, or do i need to change it to 29 fps?
if this is the case, is there an option to change the frame rate to 29 in the initial encoding?
thx -

Maybe future releases of ffmpegX will simplify this process...
