Hi Nicolas -- It's been a long while since I've used Cinelerra, I just want to assure you that is is possible to create a decent DVD from the output of Cinelerra. Your work will not be wasted, but it might take a while longer to figure out some of the details. I've done it, but sadly it's been long enough that I've forgotten most of those details. But some things that I do remember: 1) Try using a lower bitrate. I think I recall that commercial DVD's are encoded at something significantly lower than the 7500 that your mpeg2enc command line specified. And I think I remember that the bitrate specified on the command line is not total bitrate, but just video bitrate, so that 7500 + audio will exceed spec. Try 4500. 2) I found that ffmpeg worked much faster than mpeg2enc, and was of the same quality. The difficulty is that it is poorly documented, and usually requires the most current CVS version to work right. It's been years since they've had a proper release. But once you get it installed right (possibly by compiling CVS yourself) it works. Personally, I'd recommend getting ffmpeg installed by whatever means is necessary, and using that. It's hard but possible. There is also an active mailing list for ffmpeg, and while it can be unfriendly to newcomers, there are lots of people who really know the technology on that list. You'll get it figured out. Don't despair too much!
