If anyone is successfully converting DVDs to SVCD (or MPEG2 formats in general) I'd appreciate knowing what tools they use.
I have been fine producing MPEG4 files with mencoder, but I now have a networked video player (Hauppauge MediaMVP) which doesn't support MPEG4 but supports MPEG2 just fine. I tried mencoder. The ports version won't produce mpeg2 (at least not with libavcodec). The version from the mplayer site will, but the results look like "modern art". I got the same with transcode, though it's a while since I used it. ffmpeg won't even build on my AMD-Duron based 5.1 machine (though to be fair it will on my PIII Celeron 4.9 machine). The package of ffmpeg doesn't support mpeg2 encoding. mjpegtools has an mpeg2 encoder but not a decoder. It seems like no matter what I try there is some problem which blocks me. I would hate to have to revert to a Windows solution for this. jim _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
